About Patricia
Patricia Borrello-Monie is an LCSW licensed in Louisiana with 28 years of professional experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. Her work often focuses on everyday problems like sleep, eating, anger, and coping with life changes.
She uses practical, conversation-based methods to notice the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings. Patricia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new responses.
Patricia also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods when useful. That means she helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and choose actions that fit what matters to them. Mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing are woven in for focus and momentum.
Her experience includes work with trauma and abuse, hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiver stress, and veteran-related issues. She also supports people dealing with panic, phobias, obsessions and compulsions, social anxiety, workplace stress, and midlife transitions.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Patricia tends to outline steps, set small experiments, and review progress. People leave with concrete ideas for managing symptoms, improving communication, and making practical life changes.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes. CBT focuses on practical steps and experiments that can reduce anxiety, panic, phobias, and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and accept difficult feelings while still taking meaningful action. ACT can help with grief, stress, and motivation by shifting focus onto what matters rather than fighting feelings. Client-Centered Therapy provides a conversational frame where the person leads the topics and the therapist reflects understanding and priorities.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss what feels most useful and try approaches collaboratively. She reviews goals and adjusts methods as progress and preferences become clearer, so sessions stay relevant to the client's needs and daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Practical benefits include keeping momentum between sessions and applying exercises in real-life settings, with adjustments made during meetings to match each person's situation.
