About Patricia
Patricia Pardy is a licensed mental health counselor who centers her work on practical, client-focused therapy. She draws on 20 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Patricia offers straightforward guidance for everyday problems so people can cope better and feel more grounded.
She uses a mix of methods rather than one fixed approach. That means sessions often include talking through immediate concerns, building coping skills, and trying small behavior changes that fit into daily life.
Background and approach
Patricia pays attention to relationships, parenting struggles, family dynamics, and identity issues, including LGBTQ concerns and topics related to kink and alternative sexual culture. Patricia also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career stress, and questions about life purpose. She works with people dealing with blended family challenges, caregiver strain, communication breakdowns, and separation or divorce.
Her background supports clients facing impulsivity, guilt or shame, and midlife transitions. Clients can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on what helps now. She combines client-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they match a person's goals. Patricia practices in New York and holds an MA and two licensure credentials: LMHC and LCPC. Sessions are offered in English and are available in multiple online formats to fit different schedules.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. In online sessions this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set goals that feel useful and realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks big problems into smaller parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress by giving clear exercises and homework to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk about what feels most helpful, try methods in session, and adjust based on results and personal preferences. That collaborative process keeps the focus on immediate needs and longer-term goals rather than a single fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and demands. Video sessions allow in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while still using CBT, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and other approaches in real time.
