About Patricia
Patricia Klepinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of LPC experience and eight years as a school counselor. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. Patricia speaks English and focuses on practical help for day-to-day challenges.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions concentrate on naming difficult feelings, looking at patterns that keep problems going, and finding manageable steps forward. Patricia aims to help clients notice emotions and try new ways of responding.
Patricia draws on her background in school counseling to support people dealing with transitions and relational stress. She often helps with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, caregiver strain, and communication problems. Work may include addressing guilt, shame, body image, and isolation.
When trauma or past abuse is part of the picture, sessions focus on stabilizing symptoms and building skills to manage panic, intrusive memories, or self-harm urges. She also supports people working through life purpose questions, midlife shifts, and mood concerns.
Patricia describes therapy as collaborative. She listens for what matters most and then helps set short-term goals. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s matching tool and schedule an initial appointment to see how the approach fits their needs.
How Patricia blends approaches for online work
Patricia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify core emotions and the relationship patterns that keep them stuck. EFT can be useful when strong feelings are hard to name and when recognizing emotional responses helps change how someone reacts to stress or relational strain.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and sensations, clarifying values, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and practice concrete behavioral experiments that reduce anxiety or panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means discussing what feels most practical and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
