About Patsy

Patsy Guest is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She concentrates on supporting people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger management, anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work related to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, disaster-related coping, domestic violence, family problems, fatherhood issues, first responder issues, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration issues, and infidelity.

Patsy approaches each person with an emphasis on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. She aims to collaborate with clients to identify practical strategies for coping with life changes, managing emotions, and building resilience.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she acknowledges that taking the first step requires courage while offering steady support throughout the process.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on processing difficult experiences and building practical coping skills. Trauma-informed techniques often involve helping individuals make sense of painful memories, reduce reactivity, and develop safety and grounding skills to manage symptoms related to past abuse or traumatic events. Skills-based cognitive and behavioral strategies teach ways to identify unhelpful thoughts, regulate strong emotions, and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, anger, and depression.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time based on what proves most helpful in sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent support and tailored interventions while working with clients to find the rhythm and tools that suit them best.
