About Patricia

Patricia Wong is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who supports people coping with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She blends practical problem solving with careful listening to help clients identify patterns that contribute to distress and to develop workable steps forward. Patricia emphasizes solutions while remaining attentive to each person’s unique history and current challenges.

Her style shifts to meet what each client needs - she can be active and direct when goal-focused guidance is useful, and quiet and reverent when empathy and reflection are called for.

Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing and informed by emotionally-focused and solution-focused techniques, she works to clarify symptoms, reduce unhelpful patterns, and build skills for coping with life changes. Patricia brings 13 years of clinical experience practicing in Florida and aims to help clients create a more balanced, healthier life in the present moment.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Patricia often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their own goals and resolve ambivalence, making it a practical fit for addictions, behavior change, or readiness-related concerns.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to what matters most to the client, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective. Clients are invited to shape the pace and focus of treatment as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support continuity of care during life transitions, and allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for regular work on relationships, mood, coping skills, or other goals.
