About Patricia

Patricia Palmer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan who brings 15 years of experience to her work. She completed a master’s degree in counseling in 2009 and has developed a flexible, strength-based approach that draws on multiple therapeutic methods to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

Patricia emphasizes helping clients reclaim a sense of control and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and life transitions. Her work spans concerns such as depression, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career-related stress, and ADHD.

Patricia also addresses more specific issues including grief around abandonment, caregiver strain, communication and family problems, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. She aims to support clients in cultivating courage, tools, and everyday practices that foster growth, connection, and a greater sense of possibility.

Patricia frames therapy as a collaborative effort focused on strengths and realistic change. She encourages viewing each day as an opportunity for progress and offers approaches that are tailored to the individual’s goals and circumstances.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care



Patricia commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia approaches treatment collaboratively, exploring clients' needs, goals, and preferences to determine which methods fit best and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support different communication styles and schedules. These options provide flexibility for arranging sessions around work, family, or other commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
