About Patricia
Patricia Pardy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and parenting concerns, ADHD, and life changes. Sessions also address family-of-origin issues, caregiver strain, career questions, and questions around sexuality including BDSM and kink topics.
She uses straightforward, practical methods. Patricia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centered listening, dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to support change.
In sessions she talks through immediate problems and helps set small, doable goals. She focuses on skills you can practice between meetings, such as thought records, behavioral experiments, grounding exercises, and communication techniques. Sessions are structured and action-oriented when that fits a person’s needs.
Patricia has worked in counseling settings for two decades, which gives her experience with grief, trauma and family conflict. She is familiar with blended family dynamics, divorce and separation issues, and concerns around fatherhood and blended households. She also supports people managing guilt, shame, impulsivity, and midlife transitions.
People can expect clear steps and tools rather than vague advice. Patricia asks about practical barriers and helps plan realistic changes that fit daily life. To begin, she asks new people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT, DBT and client-centered work online
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase distress and to try new behaviors that reduce symptoms. CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework like thought records, and clear goals to measure progress.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques include concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance practices that can be taught in-session and practiced between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy is used to listen and reflect, helping people clarify what matters to them and set practical next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. She reviews options and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities change.
