About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Woodson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 25 years of experience. She has spent her career supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to ADHD and life changes.
Trish has worked in community mental health clinics, private practice, and school settings. That range gave her experience with students, adults, and people navigating parenting and blended family challenges. She also has experience with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and career-related stress.
In sessions she uses straightforward methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy, along with a person-centered stance. She focuses on practical strategies people can use between meetings. Conversations are aimed at clarifying problems and testing simple steps that bring relief or clearer direction.
Clients can expect goal-oriented work that addresses everyday pressures like starting a job, managing school demands, money stress, relationship tension, or feeling stuck after a big life change. Trish also brings experience with body image, adoption and foster care topics, and issues such as anger, commitment, and isolation.
Her practice is based in Virginia and she offers services in English. For people who want to begin, the usual route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about priorities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Both cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy lend themselves to clear, practical online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors; it can be used to manage anxiety, depression, and stress with homework between sessions. Solution-focused therapy centers on small, achievable changes and asking what will look different when things improve; it suits people who want fast, goal-directed work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and together decide whether CBT, solution-focused methods, or a mix makes the most sense. That plan can be adjusted as work progresses so sessions stay aligned with what you need.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since this profile does not list them. Many people find online meetings useful because they can fit sessions around class or work, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to review progress with the therapist during follow-ups.
