About Patricia
Patricia Wong is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 13 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, and stress. She also supports those working through parenting strains, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and non-monogamous relationship topics.
She takes a straightforward, practical approach. Sessions focus on identifying current symptoms and trying concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She can be active and direct when a clear plan helps, and quieter when space and reflection are needed.
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods alongside Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That mix is used to notice patterns, test small changes, and build skills that reduce distress. Conversations often include short experiments, goal-setting, and skill practice between sessions.
Her work pays attention to how past experiences shape present habits and reactions. When trauma, neglect, or difficult relationships have left patterns of avoidance, anger, or low mood, she helps people name what is happening and try different ways of responding. Practical coping steps are emphasized rather than long lectures.
Sessions also look at sexuality and polyamory or other non-monogamous arrangements when those areas are a concern. Throughout, the focus is on clear, practical steps someone can try and then review to see what helps.
How Patricia Uses Structured Approaches Online
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, test new responses, and practice skills that reduce anxiety or negative mood. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to try between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify their own goals and make decisions that feel right. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and attachment needs are the main concern; it looks at interactions and helps people try different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That usually means trying practical steps, checking what works, and adjusting the plan together.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce commute time, allow shorter focused check-ins, and make it simpler to schedule sessions around work or family commitments. The focus remains on practical skills and strategies that translate into daily life.
