About Patricia
Patricia Adams is a Florida LMHC with 15 years of clinical experience. She trained at the University of South Florida and has worked in schools, non-profits, and private practice. Patricia focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, grief, anger, and coping with change.
She helps people talk through past trauma and abuse and the mood issues that can follow. Patricia uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work to identify patterns of thinking and behavior. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.
Sessions tend to look at what’s happening now and what practical steps a person can try between meetings. Patricia pays attention to family and parenting concerns when they affect an individual’s daily life. She also supports people dealing with addictions, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, codependency, and caregiver stress. She has experience addressing mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and end-of-life concerns such as hospice and bereavement. Those topics often come up alongside anger and grief.
Patricia describes her approach as collaborative and task-focused. She helps clients set small, manageable steps and checks progress each session. If someone is seeking help with managing frustration, relationship strain, or long-standing resentment, she works to make those problems clearer and more workable.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy asks about a person’s goals and listens to what matters most. In practice this means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and what feels most pressing, whether that is anger at home or stress at work.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions often teach simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which is useful for managing anger, anxiety, and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively to pick methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences. She will discuss what approaches to try and adjust them based on progress and feedback.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether someone needs shorter check-ins, prefers not to travel, or wants sessions that match a work break. Licensed professionals can use the same skill-building and goal-setting methods over distance as they do in person, while focusing on practical steps people can apply between meetings.
