About Patricia

Patricia Pardy is a licensed therapist who blends client-centered work with practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches.

Background and approach

She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials, which indicate licensure as a mental health counselor and as a clinical professional counselor, and brings 20 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting, grief, trauma, and ADHD, as well as additional issues such as impulse control and life-purpose questions. Patricia adapts methods to each person, combining empathic listening with evidence-informed techniques to support coping and growth.

She also attends to topics that can be sensitive or stigmatized, such as BDSM and kink, blended-family dynamics, caregiver strain, and complex family-of-origin patterns. Sessions emphasize collaborative goal-setting, practical skills, and reflection to help clients move through transitions and manage emotions more effectively.

Based in New York and working in English, she offers a steady, thoughtful presence for people seeking support across many life stages.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care



Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and supports clients in exploring their own values and goals, making it useful for relationship, life-purpose, and identity work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills and can be helpful for impulsivity and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to evaluate what techniques feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so methods and pacing align with the client’s progress.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity between appointments, and practice skills in everyday contexts while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
