About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Pennix is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She talks with clients in a calm, straightforward way and focuses on practical steps to feel better. Trish centers sessions on what each person wants to change and how to reach those goals.
Trish uses a blend of approaches to shape therapy to each person. She listens first, then helps clients examine thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short skill practice, goal-setting, and checking what works between meetings. Her background includes eight years working with people managing mood disorders, addictions, trauma and relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, and challenges that come with aging.
Trish pays attention to cultural and life-stage factors that affect how problems show up. Therapy with her focuses on building self-worth and practical coping tools. She helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternatives.
Motivational conversations are used when someone wants change but feels stuck. Trish offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match clients to an appointment time that fits both schedules.
How Trish Uses Therapy Methods Online
Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and respected. In practice it means sessions focus on the person and their goals, with the therapist following their lead and reflecting concerns back to build self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often include short homework tasks and skills practice to test new ways of thinking and reacting to anxiety or mood problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce rumination and reactivity. These techniques can be practiced briefly between sessions to manage stress spikes and increase emotional awareness.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust plans when something is not helpful. That shared process helps decide which combination of methods best fits each person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to follow up on exercises between appointments.
