About Patricia
Patricia Uhan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Missouri with four years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Patricia also supports those facing issues related to abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care, and caregiver strain. Sessions are conducted in English.
Patricia draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that no longer work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when those approaches fit the client's goals. The focus is on clear, measurable steps rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes work in community mental health settings where she supported survivors of sexual abuse and assault, people with post-traumatic stress, and individuals with co-occurring substance use and personality disorders. She has also worked with people who have severe and persistent mental illness and dual diagnoses.
In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep problems active and then helps clients try different responses. That may include testing new behaviors, practicing emotion regulation skills, and working on clearer communication. Progress is tracked through concrete goals and regular check-ins.
People who choose her can expect a focused, structured way of working that emphasizes what to practice between sessions. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats offered.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice automatic thoughts and practice different reactions. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, short-term goals, and homework exercises to try new behaviors outside sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions aligned with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early caregiving experiences affect current connections and emotional responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will review a client's goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. She approaches this collaboratively, checking in and adjusting methods based on what helps most.
Confirm the available session formats before scheduling since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills where they live. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote settings, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when booking.
