About Patti
Patti Mallow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family conflict, parenting challenges, and young adult issues. Patti focuses on everyday problems like relationships, self-esteem, and work concerns.
She has spent much of her career in agencies that assist survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. That includes individual and group counseling in residential and outreach settings. She has also supervised other counselors and student interns in agency work.
Patti uses client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative and solution-focused approaches, and trauma-focused work. In sessions she helps people identify patterns, test practical changes, and build clearer communication skills. She often works on boundaries, parenting strategies, and coping skills for stress and post-traumatic stress.
Her background includes work at a group foster care ranch and roles as a discipleship counselor and program director at a domestic violence and sexual assault agency. Those roles contribute to her focus on practical skill-building and values-based decision making.
Sessions tend to address concrete goals like managing anxiety, improving family communication, navigating life transitions, and recovering from abuse. People who want straightforward, skills-focused conversations about relationships, work, or identity may find this approach useful.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, understanding what matters to the client, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach can help with feeling stuck, establishing goals, and improving relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. It uses practical exercises and short-term strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful habits. CBT is often used for stress, panic, and mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the first conversations. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.
Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific online formats, so check which options are offered when you select a therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. They also allow short check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what a person needs.
