Pattra Dodd is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. Her practice also addresses sleep and eating issues, grief, anger, parenting strain, career shifts, and challenges linked to caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Pattra focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered conversation. Sessions often include skill practice, feedback, and clear strategies for handling day-to-day problems. This direct style suits people who want tools as well as space to talk.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with older adults, veterans, and young professionals, and she brings that experience to common life changes. She also supports people working through codependency, commitment doubts, communication problems, isolation, and finding a sense of purpose. Pattra keeps descriptions straightforward so clients can see whether her approach fits their needs.

In session she mixes practical skill-building with reflective discussion. That can mean learning ways to manage strong emotions, setting boundaries, or changing repetitive patterns. She also uses motivational interviewing when people want help clarifying goals or making difficult changes.
