Patricia Manning, LPC

Patricia Manning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She practices in Oregon and works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and codependency-related concerns.

Patricia uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's experience in focus. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and build concrete coping skills.

Her background includes many years working with children and families affected by violence, foster care, and adoption. That work continued in settings such as residential treatment, psychiatric hospitals, alternative schools, and a shelter for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Patricia later completed a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling in 2008 from Webster University.

In sessions she combines practical tools with discussion about life meaning and responsibilities. She pays attention to attachment patterns, family history, and how stress shows up in daily life. That can look like learning boundary-setting, practicing emotion regulation skills, or processing traumatic memories with appropriate methods.

People who come to her often want help managing daily overwhelm, setting clearer limits, coping with loss, or understanding how past relationships shape present ones. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so work can start in a focused way.
