About Patricia
Patricia Fischer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and life changes.
She prefers straightforward, person-focused work. Sessions look at patterns that feed anger and frustration, and build concrete coping skills. She uses practical tools to help people notice triggers, try different responses, and practice new ways of handling tense moments.
Patricia often blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. She also draws on mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find clearer priorities and meaning during difficult times. The mix is used to address mood problems, impulsivity, and relationship strain.
Her background includes two decades working across community and clinical settings in Florida. That experience includes supporting people through trauma, bereavement, aging issues, and caregiving stress. She also has experience with autism spectrum concerns, intellectual disability, and disruptive mood tendencies.
In sessions she offers practical strategies for day-to-day life. That can mean short behavior experiments, emotion regulation skills, or focused problem solving about work and family situations. To begin, she asks about what keeps the problem going now and what the person most wants to change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. Client-Centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the person, helping them name feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for handling anger spikes, impulsive reactions, and tense conversations. Finding the right mix is collaborative - she will talk with the person about goals and try different strategies until something fits.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Many people also like practicing skills between sessions and then bringing questions to the next meeting.
