About Patricia
Patricia Duff-Fleming is a Florida LMHC with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Patricia works with adults who need clear, practical support when life becomes overwhelming.
She emphasizes Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as one of her main approaches. In sessions she helps people notice and name emotions that are hard to put into words. That often becomes a doorway to changing recurring patterns that keep people stuck.
Patricia also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people take meaningful action and shift unhelpful thoughts. She uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to listen closely and build understanding around relationships and attachment concerns.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Florida. Over the years she has worked with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, grief and end-of-life topics. She addresses both practical problems and the feelings underneath them.
In a typical session she helps people name what matters most, identify small next steps, and practice new responses between meetings. She encourages clear goals and concrete tools so progress can be noticed over time.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet from a quieter location, reduce time away from work, and keep progress going between in-person visits when that is important.
