About Patricia
Patricia Gillett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of clinical experience in Arizona. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Patricia aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming for anyone reaching out.
Her way of working is warm and patient. Sessions focus on treating each person with respect and understanding. Patricia listens closely and adapts treatment to what each person needs in the moment.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to build awareness and self-compassion. Dialectical skills are used when emotions feel intense and hard to manage.
Treatment plans are shaped around practical goals. That can mean learning skills to manage anxiety, building routines for better sleep and eating, or finding ways to cope with grief and life changes. Patricia supports people who want help with career stress, compassion fatigue, or parenting concerns.
Sessions often include skill practice, short-term problem solving, and space to talk through painful experiences. The aim is steady progress, not instant fixes. Patricia supports clients as they try different strategies, adjust goals, and notice what works for them.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that matter to them. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating challenges. Mindfulness Therapy helps people build awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity to strong emotions, which supports stress and anger management.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Patricia will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they will adjust the plan as progress is made and new challenges arise.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to use written exercises between sessions. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
