About Patricia

Patricia (Trish) Woodson has practiced as a licensed professional counselor in Virginia since 2001, bringing 25 years of clinical experience across community mental health, independent practice, and school settings.

Background and approach

She has supported children, adolescents, adults, and families through a wide range of life stresses and transitions, including parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, grief, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Her LPC credential reflects her long-standing licensure in the state of Virginia.

Trish blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm and encouraging presence. She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and solution-focused therapy to build concrete strategies and short-term goals.

Her work emphasizes collaborative problem solving, up-to-date resources, and helping clients find realistic ways to manage anxiety, depression, stress, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Clients seeking support for family issues, intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, or life transitions may find her approach steady and pragmatic.

She offers multiple remote session formats and aims to tailor interventions to each person’s needs while staying attuned to ongoing developments in mental health practice.

Practical approaches and remote care

Patricia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. She also uses solution-focused therapy to identify strengths and build short-term, actionable steps toward concrete goals, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and problem-solving in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment choices are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback so clients play an active role in shaping the work.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, or school commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support from a distance.
