About Patricia
Patricia Klepinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years in private practice and eight years of experience as a school counselor. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Patricia focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Her style centers on direct conversation and goal-oriented work. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address symptoms and patterns. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways of relating, and setting small achievable goals.
Patricia pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns and to how past hurts affect present relationships. She also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, guilt, shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose. For those recovering from trauma, she integrates trauma-focused ideas into a broader plan.
Practical skills are a regular part of sessions. Clients can expect tools for managing panic, mood shifts, and stress, as well as communication strategies for strained relationships. Work on self-love, forgiveness, and reducing self-harm urges is approached in clear, stepwise ways.
Patricia conducts therapy in English and practices in Texas. She asks new clients to complete a brief intake so sessions can begin with clear goals and a plan that fits daily life.
How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety or life transitions make choices feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and panic and to shift mood patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand patterns in relationships and build new ways of connecting and responding to strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss your goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That plan can change as you try techniques and see what helps in everyday life; she frames this as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work, or caregiving schedules because they reduce travel time and allow more flexible timing. Different approaches suit different rhythms of work - short focused sessions can help with immediate stress and problem-solving, while longer sessions allow deeper processing after trauma or when working on attachment and relationship patterns. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques so they work in the time you have and the setting you use for sessions.
