About Patricia
Patricia Fischer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are carrying heavy emotions such as anger, anxiety, depression, and stress. Patricia also addresses concerns like self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, trauma and grief, and coping with life changes.
Her approach emphasizes practical, person-focused work. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and reducing impulsivity.
Patricia draws on existential and mindfulness ideas to help people find clearer priorities and calm in daily life. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new ways of handling frustration and resentment. She also supports people dealing with longer-term mood issues, bipolar disorder, and problems tied to aging or intellectual disability.
Her background includes two decades of clinical work in Florida across a range of settings. Patricia uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises rather than jargon. Work often focuses on immediate coping tools, improving relationships, managing anger, and planning for real-life changes.
To get started she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work fits
Patricia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflection, and helping people find their own solutions. That approach is useful when someone needs a respectful listener and help spotting personal strengths.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, and depression because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are another practical tool she offers for emotional regulation and reducing impulsive reactions. DBT exercises focus on skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that people can practice between sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Patricia will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, challenges, and preferences rather than imposing a single model. That process can start in the first few sessions and adjust over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also means practical adjustments are possible, such as choosing audio-only or video depending on comfort and bandwidth, but please verify which options Patricia currently offers before scheduling.
