About Patricia

Patricia Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with ten years of experience. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and anger. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to meet people where they are without judgment.

Patricia uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that cause distress. She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand how past experiences shape present reactions.

Sessions focus on clear goals and honest talk. Patricia tailors the pace and focus to each person, whether someone needs short-term problem solving or deeper exploration. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion during difficult conversations.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, grief and hospice-related issues, addiction and bipolar concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a range of family and identity questions. She also addresses attachment, adoption and foster care topics, and impulsivity or control issues.

People who choose Patricia can expect a collaborative approach. She helps set realistic steps, checks progress, and adjusts plans when needed. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapy approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. The therapist helps people set priorities, reflects feelings, and supports self-directed change. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance, clearer goals, and steady support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks down patterns into manageable parts and teaches skills for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood regulation.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their intense emotional charge. It is often used when trauma or abuse memories continue to cause strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods together with the client. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most helpful and what to change over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Ask about the specific ways sessions are scheduled and delivered so you can fit therapy into daily life. People often choose online work to save travel time, fit sessions into a busy day, or have shorter check-ins when needed. The emphasis is on making regular meetings manageable while using therapeutic approaches that match each person's needs.
