About Patricia
Patricia Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked in schools, non-profits, and private practice since earning her master’s degree in counseling from the University of South Florida in 2002 and obtaining licensure in 2005. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, addictions, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, coaching, and ADHD. Patricia also notes additional focus areas such as codependency and abandonment.
Patricia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses methods that help people name what is happening, practice different responses, and set small, achievable goals. Sessions tend to be conversational with direct tools and exercises offered when helpful. She aims to help clients notice patterns that leave them feeling drained or stuck and to build clearer decision-making skills.
In work around trauma and loss, Patricia integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centered conversations so people can process difficult memories at a pace that suits them. For anxiety and mood concerns she often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new actions. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for shorter-term goal setting and planning practical steps forward.
Patricia’s background across schools, non-profits, and private practice means she has experience with different life stages and stressors. She helps people who keep prioritizing others learn how to notice their own needs and try small changes. Communications are in English and based in Florida.

How sessions work
How Patricia Uses CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Patricia often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation focuses on the person’s concerns, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what she hears so clients can clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then trying practical experiments to change them.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy when clients want focused, short-term goals. That approach looks for small, specific changes that make daily life easier and builds from what already works. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; Patricia will work with each person to choose strategies based on their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working this way helps them practice changes in the context of their everyday routines, while still getting structured tools for anxiety, trauma processing, or behavior change.
