About Patricia

Patricia Uhan is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and effects of trauma and abuse. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable for worried parents and busy adults.

Patricia has four years of experience in a range of clinical settings. She has worked in a community mental health center supporting survivors of sexual abuse and assault, which included care for people with PTSD, substance use concerns, and personality disorder presentations. She has also worked with people facing severe and persistent mental illness and those with dual diagnoses in diverse communities.

Her style is empathetic and collaborative. She draws on several approaches so sessions can be tailored to what the person needs right now. Practical skills and real-life problem solving are often part of the work alongside exploring relationship patterns and past experiences.

Patricia pays attention to culture and identity as part of therapy. She aims to understand how life context shapes stress, coping, and relationships. That perspective helps inform treatment choices and session goals.

People who want direct skills, space to process painful memories, or support making different choices often find her approach useful. She invites clients to set the pace and to shape goals together. To begin, clients follow the site steps to match and schedule a time to meet.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and on clarifying personal values to guide action. This can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help people understand recurring relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and builds concrete skills to change behavior and mood, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past experiences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between visits through the platform's scheduling system. Some approaches lend themselves to skills practice and worksheets that translate well to remote sessions, while others focus on talking and relational work that also adapts to video or phone meetings. Ask about specific session options when scheduling to make sure they match your needs.
