About Patti
Patti Mallow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and the fallout from trauma. She aims to build trust quickly so clients feel comfortable naming what feels hardest and trying small changes. Sessions are straightforward and paced to each person's needs.
Patti brings 12 years of counseling experience working in agencies that address domestic violence and sexual assault.
Background and approach
She has led both individual and group sessions and has supervised other counselors and student interns. That background shapes a practical, hands-on approach. In sessions she uses client-centered listening so people feel heard and supported.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. When trauma is part of the story, she draws on trauma-focused and narrative methods to help people make sense of what happened and how it affects them now. Patti has worked with people dealing with depression, eating concerns, relationship trouble, parenting strain, and life transitions.
She also addresses workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and issues like guilt, shame, or abandonment. Her experience includes work at a group foster care ranch and as a program director, which informs practical skills-building in sessions. She offers a calm, collaborative style and focuses on realistic steps people can use between appointments.
Patti meets people where they are and works with them to identify goals and small changes that add up over time.
How Patti's Approaches Work Online
Patti uses client-centered work to make sessions feel personal and respectful. That means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace, helping people name what matters and set clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that keep problems going and testing simple, practical changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Patti will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, client-centered listening, or trauma-focused methods are the best fit and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, shorter sessions, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make attending sessions more flexible and help therapy fit into work, parenting, or other daily demands.
