She earned a master’s degree in counseling from the University of South Florida in 2002 and has held Florida LMHC licensure since 2005, bringing a steady commitment to helping children, adults, and families.

Her background includes work in non-profit organizations, schools, and private practice, where she has supported clients dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Patricia also addresses issues related to self-esteem, anger, addictions, family dynamics, and caregiving stress, tailoring care to each person’s situation.

In session she draws from evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, solution-focused methods, and rational emotive behavior therapy to offer practical skills and reflective support.

She presents therapy as a collaborative process and welcomes individuals ready to begin work toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia Adams integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients are heard and supported as they explore their own goals and values - it is helpful for self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on strengths and actionable steps toward specific goals, which can be useful when clients want short-term, goal-directed support. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - Patricia works with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while managing family responsibilities, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
