02 · In Patricia's own words

What Patricia says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Are you ready to experience positive growth and change?

You want life to be different and better. But you just don't know how to make it happen. We all strive to be our “best" selves, yet we can get stuck and feel unsure about how to move forward. Where do you begin? What steps do you take?

Wherever you are right now, whatever you are struggling with, we will work together to truly understand who you are now and help you become who you wish to be. We will partner in what will be a holistic, personalized, creative plan that is designed to nurture your growth and help you experience true, lasting positive change.

There really isn't a "one size fits all" approach as you are a unique individual. We will incorporate a variety of techniques and your care will be based on what you personally need. We will explore who you are and from there we will focus on the particular strategies and skills which best suit you.

Life is stressful. Now more than ever. Together, we can find solutions to help you navigate the difficulties of being human. We will discover your strengths. Along the way we may laugh, we may cry. We will definitely learn many new things about you as we partner to build you a more meaningful, purpose-filled life - one you're excited to wake up to each day.

As a mental health counselor and psychotherapist, I seek to be creative and compassionate. I strive to be positive and encouraging, yet also practical and solution focused. Clients say I bring warmth, passion, and a sense of humor to our sessions. I strive to make your care comprehensive and I take an approach that is holistic.

My goal is to help you develop new skills and insights which will help you create a life you love.

If you are someone who is struggling, things can be different - things can be better.

I earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. During my studies, I was awarded the title of RSA Scholar by the Rehabilitation Services Administration of the United States Department of Education. I was invited to join the USF Golden Key International Honor Society, as well as The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. I was named an Association of University Centers on Disabilities, Florida Center for Inclusive Communities Trainee.

I am licensed by the State of Florida Board of Health as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). Additionally, I am certified by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC).

I have worked in the fitness and wellness industry for more than 25+ years. I have obtained multiple fitness & health certifications including American Council on Exercise personal training certification, Mad Dogg Athletics group cycling certification, Nautilus strength training certification, and CoreFit Pilates Instructor certification. I also served as a fitness research assistant for a leading fitness/strength researcher and aided with varying projects including helping with strength training research for the U.S. military. I’ve proudly appeared in multiple fitness books. And, too, I worked as an Associate Editor and Writer for an internationally published fitness industry magazine for nearly 15 years.

It really would be an honor to help you. I look forward to being with you on your healing journey and I would love to help you reconnect to yourself.

03 · How Patricia works

The 6 approaches Patricia lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Patricia lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Patricia's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Patricia runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behaviour TherapyDBT

A structured skills-led adaptation of CBT built around holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are and working to change. Teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Developed for people whose feelings arrive at overwhelming intensity, and strongest-evidenced there.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Narrative Therapy

Treats the story you tell about your life as something that can be examined and retold rather than as the plain facts. Separates the person from the problem - “the anxiety” rather than “your anxiety” - to make room for the parts the current story leaves out.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Patricia practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Patricia's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Patricia at this point.

2. Naming Patricia specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Patricia is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Patricia.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Patricia

Built from what Patricia actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Patricia's - Patricia has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Patricia's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Patricia. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
