Patricia Klepinger, LPC

Patricia Klepinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of experience as an LPC and eight additional years working as a school counselor. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. Her work focuses on concrete problems and practical steps rather than abstract talk.

Patricia uses clear, structured methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to map thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also draws from client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions goal-oriented and grounded in what the client wants to change.

In sessions she emphasizes straightforward skills practice. That can mean noticing automatic thoughts, testing them, and trying new responses. It can also mean clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values. Sessions tend to focus on what someone can do between meetings as much as what happens during them.

Patricia has experience supporting people after trauma and abuse and with panic and mood concerns. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt, and loneliness. She helps people sort through parenting stress and the emotional strain of major transitions.

People who choose her usually want practical tools, clear steps, and a therapist who listens and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The first session typically looks at immediate concerns and sets a few specific next steps to try before the following visit.
