Patricia Pardy

Patricia Pardy is a licensed mental health counselor who brings two decades of experience to sessions. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and depression. Patricia also supports people managing relationship and family questions, career stress, ADHD concerns, and identity matters related to LGBT issues.

She takes a client-centered approach, shaping each plan to fit the person in front of her. That means listening first, then choosing practical tools from therapies that match the issue. Clients can expect calm, straightforward guidance and help building skills to handle strong emotions and conflict.

Over 20 years of work has given Patricia a broad background in both community and clinical settings in New York. She has helped people navigate parenting challenges, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and the fallout of separation and divorce. Trauma, domestic violence, and family-of-origin problems are also within her experience.

Patricia draws on a mix of approaches when needed, including cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. These tools are used to address impulsivity, control issues, communication problems, and life transitions. Practical skill-building is a common part of sessions.

Her training and licenses are listed as LMHC and LCPC. Sessions are conducted in English, and international clients are not accepted. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule with her.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s concerns first. It focuses on listening, understanding, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through family problems, identity questions, or emotional struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical steps and exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or anger. Sessions often include simple homework to practice new skills between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It teaches techniques for grounding, handling impulses, and communicating more effectively when tensions rise.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to choose which approaches to try based on goals and preferences, and will adjust methods over time. Clients shape the pace and focus of work together with the therapist.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skill practice, and goal-setting to an online setting to keep work practical and focused.
