About Patunia

Patunia Medy focuses on clients who want practical support for stress, anxiety, life transitions, ADHD-related concerns, and a wide range of emotional and interpersonal challenges. She aims to create a supportive setting where people can identify goals and work toward measurable change using proven therapeutic methods.

Background and approach

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience, Patunia draws on her social work training and clinical practice to address issues such as trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, mood concerns including depression and bipolar symptoms, substance use, and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a master’s degree in social work, plus advanced certification in child welfare and qualification as a school social worker, all of which inform a practical, strengths-based approach. Patunia emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and applying appropriate evidence-based techniques to meet each client’s needs.

She offers multiple remote session formats to increase accessibility and works with clients in Connecticut, communicating in English throughout the therapeutic process.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care



Patunia frequently uses structured, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and on building practical coping skills. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and replacing them with more adaptive alternatives; this can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. Skills-based interventions emphasize concrete strategies for managing emotions, improving sleep and eating patterns, and addressing attention and concentration difficulties often associated with ADHD.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, try suitable techniques, and adjust the plan over time so the methods fit the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward personal goals.
