About Patricia
Patricia Olachea Haessly is a licensed professional counselor with three decades of experience. She uses a calm, steady approach to help people facing stress and anxiety. Her work also addresses depression, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Patricia blends approaches that focus on connection and practical change. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to build tolerance for strong feelings and reduce reactivity. She also integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people processing traumatic memories. Sessions are guided by the person's goals and paced to what feels manageable.
Patricia aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space and to work in ways that fit each person's life. Patricia has supported people through parenting strain, workplace stress, and complex family-of-origin issues. She works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, chronic illness or pain, and adjustment to major life changes.
She offers services in both English and Spanish and practices from Texas as an LPC. Therapy typically focuses on real-life problems and small, practical steps. People can expect clear talk about patterns, gentle skill building, and attention to how relationships affect daily life.
Her long experience shapes a flexible style that adapts to each person's needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Patricia commonly uses attachment-based work to examine how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand connection issues, intimacy-related struggles, and repetitive relationship patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. When trauma memories are causing distress, she may integrate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to reduce the intensity of those memories and the emotional responses linked to them.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and history and then try methods that fit. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on feedback so work feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let the therapist and client see nonverbal signals and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for brief reflections, midweek support, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care across locations.
