About Patsy

Patsy Guest is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges with anger. Patsy speaks English and accepts international clients.

Patsy focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens to what is happening now and helps people name reactions and patterns that cause trouble. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at reducing the moments when anger or stress take over daily life.

Her work often covers anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, and parenting stress. Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum topics, caregiver strain, disasters, and immigration-related stress.

Patsy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address relationship strain, guilt and shame, and issues like domestic violence and infidelity. She also offers support around end-of-life care, hospice-related grief, and fatherhood issues. Her approach is practical and results-focused rather than theoretical.

People who choose Patsy can expect a steady, nonjudgmental clinician who helps them work through patterns that lead to anger and other intense emotions. She guides clients toward clearer choices and steadier responses in stressful situations. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Approaches used for online sessions and practical benefits

Evidence-based techniques are part of Patsy’s work. One approach focuses on identifying triggers and changing responses through practical skills and rehearsal. This helps when anger flares at home or work and when someone wants clearer emotional control. A second approach uses grief-focused strategies to process loss and reduce the emotional load that can fuel anger or depression. These steps include structured conversations about memories, feelings, and manageable ways to remember and move forward. Finding the right approach is a shared process. Patsy works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, daily schedule, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. She adjusts plans as progress becomes clearer. Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different time zones. Talk with Patsy after the matching questionnaire to arrange session timing and format that work with your routine.
