About Patricia

Patricia Lord is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with ten years of clinical experience in Kansas. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, eating and self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

Patricia began her training with a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple and Family Counseling and has extensive experience supporting adolescents, teens, and young adults. She has worked with issues that arise around divorce, co-parenting, step parenting, and the emotional fallout of separation. She also has experience with non-suicidal self-harm in teens and related adjustment problems.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies. That looks like listening first, then helping people test different ways of thinking and small behavioral changes. She also uses practical, goal-focused tools to build new habits and coping skills.

People who struggle with boundary-setting, codependency patterns, attachment questions, or control issues will find concrete skills to practice. Patricia tends to keep sessions focused and actionable while still addressing emotional material. She works with parents on family stress and with young adults navigating mood concerns and life changes.

Her approach aims to help clients notice patterns, try new responses, and track small changes over time. Sessions typically combine talking, simple exercises, and mindfulness techniques. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How sessions work

How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarify priorities before trying new behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thought patterns. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will help identify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Many people move between learning skills, practicing them between sessions, and then reviewing what worked in follow-ups.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on coping skills into a regular week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let clients try exercises such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices during the week and bring observations back to sessions for review.
