Patricia Maksoudian

Patricia Maksoudian is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship strain, anger, trauma, grief, anxiety, and the stress of life changes. Patricia helps people talk through communication problems, attachment concerns, and issues around intimacy so they can find clearer ways forward.

Her practice draws on approaches known for working with emotions and relationships. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to address patterns between partners. Mindfulness techniques and trauma-focused work appear when people need help managing intense feelings or processing past hurt.

Patricia describes her style as compassionate and collaborative. She listens for the story behind difficult behavior and helps people try different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize practical steps - safer conversations, new routines, and skill-building - that can change daily interactions.

She also integrates a Christian-informed perspective when clients request that frame. That means spiritual values can be part of how goals and healing are discussed, if clients wish to include them. Patricia aims to support emotional resilience and more stable relationships over time.

Based in Indiana, Patricia brings many years of experience to complex situations such as attachment problems, blended family stress, infidelity, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. She guides each person toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and realistic next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that keep people stuck. Online EFT sessions focus on recognizing emotional reactions and practicing new ways to respond in relationships. The Gottman Method helps people change harmful interaction habits and build better communication through structured exercises and simple skill practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most helpful. She collaborates with clients to choose techniques and adjust them as trust and progress grow.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so clients can meet more consistently. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio when they need a quick touchpoint, while others use video for longer conversations and exercises that involve facial cues.
