About Patricia
Patricia Olachea Haessly is an LPC in Texas with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. She works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Patricia uses a mix of practical methods to help people manage emotions and daily problems. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered conversation to explore relationship patterns and what people need to feel steadier.
Sessions emphasize clear steps and small experiments people can try between meetings. Patricia helps with sleep problems, self-esteem, grief, career questions, and adjustment to life changes. She also supports people coping with chronic illness or pain and those dealing with cultural or immigration stressors.
Her work includes longer-term themes like family of origin issues and midlife concerns, plus focused support for ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and disruptive mood dysregulation issues. She includes EMDR and mindfulness tools when those approaches match the person's goals.
Patricia aims to keep sessions practical and conversation-based. She asks about goals, suggests specific strategies, and reviews progress over time. People interested in working together are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises, thought records, and brief behavioral experiments that fit well into weekly online check-ins.She also uses attachment-based ideas to map relationship patterns and understand how past bonds affect current reactions. That work typically focuses on communication habits and learning small, repeatable changes that improve close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. She reviews progress and adjusts methods as needed so the work stays focused on clear, practical steps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since format details are set through the matching system. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also allow phone-only meetings if bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Ask about format options when you complete the questionnaire and schedule the first session.
