About Patricia
Patricia Manning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship problems, grief, anger, and life changes. Patricia speaks English and practices from Oregon.
She began working with children and families affected by violence while studying psychology at college. That early work included child protection, permanency planning, and adoption support. Over time she has worked in foster care, residential treatment, psychiatric hospitals, alternative schools, and a shelter for people impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault.
Patricia earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling in 2008 from Webster University. Her practice draws on a client-centered orientation alongside attachment-focused ideas and cognitive-behavioral tools. She often combines approaches to match the concerns a person brings, for example using skills training for intense emotions and trauma-focused methods for past abuse.
In sessions she helps people learn concrete skills to manage strong feelings, reduce overwhelming stress, and repair strained relationships. She also supports parents dealing with the practical strain of caregiving, blended family issues, and adoption-related matters. Work can include coping strategies for compassion fatigue and assistance with life transitions.
Patricia says she expects to be direct when needed and to challenge choices that are self-sabotaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can focus on patterns that cause anger or distance and work to build different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change upsetting thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and stress through exercises and homework that fit into daily life. EMDR is a trauma-processing approach that helps reduce the intensity of disturbing memories and reactions; a therapist guides the process to work through past events that continue to cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will listen to your concerns and goals, then recommend methods that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as you progress or as needs shift.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about which session rhythm and tools will best fit your routine before scheduling.
