About Patricia
Patricia Salinas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of counseling experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, and addictions. She also supports work-related problems, grief, relationship concerns, and adjustment to life changes.
Before her current practice she spent 26 years working for the State of Texas with families, children, adolescents, and adults facing high-stress circumstances. That background gave her regular experience with divorce, child custody, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, domestic violence, immigration-related stress, and young adult concerns.
Her sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered conversation and motivational interviewing to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set measurable steps and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address attachment and relationship patterns.
Patricia speaks English and Spanish. She describes her role as a collaborator who helps people notice thought and behavior patterns, practice different responses, and track small changes over time. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
Typical issues she addresses include OCD symptoms, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD-related struggles, workplace stress, infidelity and jealousy, sexual assault and abuse, and compassion fatigue. People who want clear, structured work on thinking and habits may find her approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test the thoughts that fuel anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions often focus on specific thinking patterns, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce symptoms and build new habits.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which centers on practical, respectful conversation that follows the client's concerns. That approach helps people clarify goals, explore options, and decide what small steps to try next. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship or attachment patterns are a main concern; it aims to identify emotional needs and change interaction patterns between partners or within family roles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match the person's goals, situation, and preferences. She adapts tools over time based on what proves helpful and what the client wants to prioritize.
