About Patsy
Patsy Guest is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people manage trauma and abuse, grief, anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship pressures, parenting strain, depression, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.
Patsy takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She invites clients to talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations focus on practical ways to reduce distress and build routines that feel manageable in day-to-day life.
Her background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma and loss. That experience informs how she listens and how she plans next steps with each person. She pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating and to small changes that can make daily life easier.
Patsy also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, disaster-related reactions, domestic violence, family difficulties, fatherhood, first responder issues, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration stress, and infidelity.
Patsy aims to help people get clearer about what they want to change and then practice manageable steps toward those goals. She asks direct questions and uses concrete tasks between sessions. If you are weighing therapy for early-adult pressures like leaving home, starting work, study stress, or relationship changes, Patsy can help you sort priorities and plan next steps.
How therapeutic methods work in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often used for trauma focus on stabilizing reactions and teaching specific coping skills. That might include grounding and breathing methods alongside step-by-step plans to reduce avoidant behaviors. These approaches aim to help people feel more in control when memories or strong emotions appear.For grief and loss, therapists often use focused conversations that help name what was lost and establish new routines that honor change. Sessions can include memory work, practical problem solving for day-to-day tasks, and planning for difficult dates or milestones.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
