Patricia Adams

Patricia Adams is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. She earned a master’s degree in counseling from the University of South Florida and has worked across nonprofit, school, and private-practice settings. Patricia focuses on helping people deal with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and life changes.

Her style is down-to-earth and practical. She listens first and helps people set small, doable goals. Sessions often focus on skills that reduce distress and on steps people can try between meetings.

Patricia uses approaches such as client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide conversations and choices. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused work when those fit a person’s needs. These methods are used to address problems like low self-esteem, coping after loss, and the effects of past trauma.

She has experience supporting parents with parenting strain and people dealing with adoption or foster care issues, abandonment, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. Patricia also supports people managing mood disorders, ADHD, codependency, and challenges related to domestic violence or substance use.

People who prefer straightforward, skills-based sessions will likely find her approach helpful. She invites anyone ready to take the next step to begin with a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own concerns and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set the agenda for each session. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be used to manage anxiety, anger, and mood problems. Solution-focused work looks for small, achievable steps and builds on what already works, which can help when people want faster, goal-oriented change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and make a plan together based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and realistic.

The original biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for focused skill practice between meetings. It also lets people try different session rhythms and homework that support progress in everyday life.
