About Patricia

Patricia DeBor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with 15 years of clinical experience. She sees people concerned about stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, and coping with major life changes.

She has worked across private practice, military settings, and higher education. That background gives practical knowledge of first responder and veteran issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and military-related concerns. She also has experience addressing process addictions, seasonal affective disorder, sexual assault and abuse, and relationship-focused struggles like jealousy.

Patricia uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She helps clients develop concrete tools to respond differently when old patterns cause distress. Sessions focus on small steps that change daily habits and reduce overwhelm.

Her style combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered ideas, plus mindfulness and existential perspectives when they fit. That mix lets her shift between skill-building, understanding relationship patterns, and exploring meaning or motivation as needed.

People can expect focused conversations about practical problems. Patricia works with each person to set clear goals and track progress. She asks about what works in everyday life and adjusts techniques so they are useful between sessions.

How Patricia uses CBT, attachment, and client-centered work online

Patricia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short-term skill building for issues such as anxiety, stress, and mood changes.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns shape reactions and coping. That approach helps clarify why certain responses repeat and what to change for healthier connections. Client-centered methods guide conversations so people set their own goals and decide which strategies fit their life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they choose techniques and test small changes, then revise the plan based on what actually helps.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time. The focus is on practical ways to use skills between sessions so therapy fits everyday life rather than being an extra burden.
