About Patricia
Patricia Godwin is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience based in Utah. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, career questions, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, ADHD, and related life changes.
Her approach keeps conversations direct and focused. She uses clear methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test new ways of responding. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with room to talk through feelings and plan next steps.
Patricia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas. That means she helps people notice patterns of thinking, try small experiments, and review what works. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what a person wants to change and the steps to get there.
When relationship issues come up she uses Gottman Method principles to address communication and conflict patterns. For people facing major life transitions or caregiving and end-of-life concerns, she offers straightforward support and coping strategies.
Patricia describes sessions as interactive rather than lecture-based. She listens, asks practical questions, and co-creates plans clients can try between sessions. The emphasis is on concrete skills and measurable steps that can fit into everyday life.
How her methods translate to online work
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice automatic thoughts and test new responses; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy keeps sessions focused on the person's priorities, offering listening and reflection to clarify goals. The Gottman Method provides concrete communication and conflict tools for relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying a short plan, reviewing what changed, and adjusting the approach together.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote meetings let them practice skills in real life between sessions and bring concrete situations back for discussion.
