About Patricia

Patricia Manning is an LPC with 11 years of clinical experience who combines client-centered care with evidence-based trauma work to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

She frames therapy around understanding each person’s life context and helps clients explore meaning, responsibility, and coping skills while using practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and trauma therapies. Patricia emphasizes the human capacity for resilience and collaborates with clients to build tools that reduce overwhelm and restore balance.

Her background includes longstanding work with children, families, and individuals affected by violence, foster care, and adoption systems, which informs a trauma-informed perspective and sensitivity to attachment and family dynamics. Patricia trained at Webster University, holds LPC credentials for SC and OR, and integrates approaches such as DBT and EMDR when clinically appropriate.

She aims to honor each client’s journey while offering honest feedback and structured interventions to address patterns that interfere with growth and well-being.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online therapy

Patricia draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete problem-solving and coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She also uses EMDR to address the lingering effects of traumatic memories by supporting processing and integration of distressing experiences. These methods are applied with attention to attachment and relational dynamics that shape how people relate to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Patricia works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques accordingly, offering a mix of supportive conversation and structured skill-building so therapy fits each person’s pace and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and geographic constraints. These remote formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access different ways of communicating, and choose the style that best suits someone’s comfort and daily life.
