About Patti
Patti Mallow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family conflict, parenting challenges, and concerns about self-esteem and relationships. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of responding to difficult situations.
Patti uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and trauma-focused approaches. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different responses. That can mean practicing small behavior changes, testing new ways to communicate, or working through memories and reactions tied to past abuse.
Much of her work has been in agencies serving survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. She has led both individual and group counseling and supervised other counselors and interns. That background informs how she structures sessions for people recovering from trauma and managing ongoing stress.
Patti has also worked in group foster care, as a discipleship counselor, and as a program director for a domestic violence and sexual assault agency. Those roles shaped her focus on parenting supports, exploring values and beliefs, and helping people put practical skills into daily life.
In sessions she emphasizes clear goals and straightforward techniques. People can expect collaborative planning, targeted practice tasks between meetings, and conversations about communication and boundaries. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details with the provider.
How CBT and trauma-informed work translate to online sessions
Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client's pace, which helps people feel understood while they decide next steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of past abuse and on building skills to manage reactions and triggers.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Together they will choose techniques and homework tasks that match what the person wants to work on and how they prefer to proceed.
Confirm session formats with the provider before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins during a work break. They also let people use video or audio in ways that suit their bandwidth and comfort. Ask about specific session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements match daily life.
