About Patunia
Patunia Medy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, life changes, and related concerns. She works with individuals who want practical steps to feel steadier and more capable. Patunia uses clear goals and everyday language to make therapy feel usable for busy lives.
She draws on a decade of clinical experience and education to guide sessions. Patunia earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Adelphi University and a Master of Social Work from Yeshiva University.
Background and approach
She also completed an Advanced Certification in Child Welfare and is a Certified School Social Worker. In sessions she focuses on what is happening now and on small, realistic changes clients can try between meetings. That might include learning ways to calm the body, shifting unhelpful thinking patterns, or setting boundaries that protect energy.
She aims to keep work practical and tailored to each person’s daily routine. Patunia has experience supporting people with trauma, grief, addiction concerns, mood symptoms, and challenges related to identity and relationships. She also attends to issues like sleep, eating, ADHD, and career stress.
Her work includes helping young adults and people on the autism spectrum navigate transitions. Clients can expect a steady, goal-oriented approach with room for compassion and problem solving. Patunia encourages open conversation about what is and isn’t working so adjustments can be made as goals evolve.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Patunia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable progress. One common approach teaches ways to regulate body and mind through breathing, grounding, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and stress. Another approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns so daily reactions feel more manageable and clearer decisions can be made. These approaches are useful for trauma reactions, mood symptoms, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patunia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily routines. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most and on client feedback, so therapy stays relevant and focused on real-life results.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options add flexibility for people juggling work, school, caregiving, or travel while accessing licensed professionals.
