About Patricia
Patricia Tingler-Baker is an LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience and practices in Ohio. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing life changes and workplace strain.
She uses clear conversations to identify thoughts and habits that make problems worse. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thinking, testing small changes, and building practical skills. Patricia aims for straightforward, actionable steps rather than abstract talk.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and existential ideas. That mix lets her match techniques to a person’s problem - for example, skills training for intense emotions or values work for life-direction questions.
Patricia works with people on addiction and recovery topics including drug and alcohol issues. She also addresses caregiver stress, domestic violence impacts, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and money and financial stress. Sessions cover guilt, shame, isolation, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.
People can expect practical homework between sessions, like simple behavioral experiments or skills practice. The focus is on small, testable steps that fit daily life. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they match personal needs.
How Patricia uses structured therapies in online work
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete exercises to try between sessions. ACT emphasizes values and committed action; it helps people move toward what matters even when difficult feelings are present.She also draws on Client-Centered ideas to listen and clarify what matters to each person. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client look at goals, preferences, and what feels practical, then adjust methods over time based on what helps.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new skills in everyday settings and then bring observations back to sessions for troubleshooting.
