About Patricia
Patricia Salinas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of professional counseling experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family conflict, depression, self-esteem, addictions, and young adult issues. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and draws on several proven approaches to support practical change.
Before moving into private counseling she spent 26 years working for the State of Texas, helping people across age groups facing highly stressful situations. That background means she is familiar with family conflict, child custody, divorce, parenting concerns, workplace problems, and immigration-related stressors. She has also supported people dealing with sexual assault, domestic violence, and grief.
Patricia uses a blend of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals, straightforward skills, and practical steps to manage symptoms like anxiety or low self-esteem. She also integrates emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and attachment come up in sessions.
Her style is supportive and motivating, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations aim to identify strengths, set achievable goals, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. She encourages honest discussion about what feels most important to address first.
For people in early adulthood, Patricia can help with transitions such as leaving home, starting work, relationship changes, and the pressure to keep up with peers. She invites clients to complete a short intake questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin setting practical steps forward.
Approaches Patricia Uses and how online sessions work
Patricia often blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make practical changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflective conversation, and building on what a person already knows about themselves; it suits work on identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at linked thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or tackle unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed.
The original profile does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can still make therapy easier to fit into daily life - it can reduce travel time, make scheduling around work or school simpler, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets someone continue momentum between in-person commitments. Ask about language options, scheduling, and the subscription arrangements when you complete the intake questionnaire to see what formats are currently provided.
