About Patricia

Patricia Hawkins brings 25 years of experience in mental health to her work, including early roles in Assertive Community Treatment and case management before spending the last decade as a practicing mental health therapist.

Background and approach

She holds a master’s degree in counseling/psychology from Michigan State University and practices as an LPC in Michigan, combining supervisory experience with direct clinical care focused on clients managing co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns. Her therapeutic stance is collaborative and solution-focused, shaping treatment plans around each client's preferences and learning style.

Patricia uses client-centered principles to keep goals grounded in what matters to the person she is working with while integrating practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches when helpful. She commonly addresses anxiety, depression, anger, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, sleep problems, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to life transitions and recovery.

Clients can expect a practitioner who emphasizes partnership, flexibility, and evidence-informed techniques tailored to individual needs. Patricia values the opportunity to help people improve their quality of life and supports progress through clear, client-directed planning and adaptive therapeutic methods.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Patricia often draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so that goals and plans are shaped by the client’s priorities and learning style; this approach supports people working through life changes, relationship concerns, grief, and much more. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and then applying specific skills and exercises to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and difficulties related to ADHD.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She partners with clients to assess needs, test techniques, and adjust plans over time so that the methods used reflect each person’s goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Patricia uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These formats let clients fit sessions into busy schedules, use shorter touchpoints when helpful, and continue work during life transitions or when in-person visits are not convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt the therapeutic techniques described above to each online format, maintaining a focus on practical skills and measurable progress.
