About Patricia
Patricia Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, family and parenting concerns, and related issues such as self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She trained at the University of South Florida and has worked across nonprofit, school, and private practice settings. Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and solution-focused methods. She also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past events are part of what brings someone to therapy.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Patricia helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try different responses, and track what works. She offers direct strategies for managing anxiety, mood shifts, grief, and stress while also addressing relationship and parenting concerns presented by individuals.
Her work commonly covers areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, codependency, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with illness, end-of-life issues, life purpose, and addictions, using short-term problem solving alongside deeper trauma work when needed.
Patricia conducts therapy in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC. People are invited to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see if her style fits their needs.
How Patricia Uses Structured Approaches in Remote Work
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT is focused and practical, often involving short exercises, behavior experiments, and tracking what changes. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for the person to describe their priorities and feel heard while the therapist follows their lead. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what can be done differently right away.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as progress is made or new concerns arise.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-in meetings when a quick update is needed, or video conversations when visual cues are helpful. Patricia aims to match the format and pace to each person’s routine and goals.
