About Patricia

Patricia "Kay" McLaughlin brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to counseling, drawing on an eclectic mix of theories and techniques tailored to each person's needs. She has worked with individuals across the lifespan, including children as young as six and teenagers, and focuses on helping people manage PTSD, anxiety, and depression through practical strategies and therapeutic interventions.

Licensed as an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - in Texas for the past six years, she combines empathy with evidence-informed methods to create a comfortable therapeutic environment. She is trained in EMDR, a trauma-focused therapy that can be useful for processing distressing memories, and she adapts her approach to fit the goals and preferences of each client.

Kay emphasizes getting to know each person to ensure they feel at ease with the chosen methods and to support steady progress toward their goals. Her flexible, individualized style is geared toward offering techniques that clients can use between sessions to address the issues they bring to therapy. She aims to build a collaborative relationship that helps clients move forward with greater insight and coping skills.
