About Patricia
Patricia Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of professional counseling experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues tied to work and self-esteem. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and has focused experience with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and immigration concerns.
Before becoming an LPC she spent 26 years working for the State of Texas supporting people through high-stress situations. That background shaped her practical approach to problems like divorce, child custody, domestic violence, and young adult transitions. She also addresses addictions, bipolar challenges, grief, anger, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.
Patricia blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her sessions. She listens for what matters to each person, then helps name patterns and try small changes. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas when emotional connection and attachment are central to a concern.
Her style is straightforward and motivating. Conversations focus on strengths and on steps that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Patricia avoids stigmatizing labels and works to keep discussions practical and respectful.
Sessions follow a plan based on the client’s goals and needs. Clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used for online sessions
Patricia commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions and connection patterns, which can help when relationships or attachment feelings are central. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s perspective and personal strengths, letting the client guide what matters most in sessions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions she and the client check whether the plan feels helpful and adjust the approach accordingly.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, or sessions can be arranged without needing travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often find online work supports consistent attendance and lets people practice coping skills in the contexts where problems occur.
