About Patricia

Patricia Maksoudian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 26 years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy questions, stress, anxiety, anger, career shifts, and depression. Patricia also focuses on compassion fatigue and helping clients cope with major life changes.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to address patterns in relationships and bonding. Mindfulness techniques are part of sessions to help slow reactions and increase awareness. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her work with people healing from past hurts.

Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Patricia helps people talk through communication problems, attachment issues, blended family concerns, and commitment worries. She also addresses family of origin problems, infidelity, guilt and shame, and forgiveness work.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with veterans and women facing interpersonal and life transitions. She draws on experience across varied family structures to assist clients who want clearer boundaries and healthier relationship routines.

Patricia describes a collaborative style. She and the client identify immediate goals and small, concrete steps to change interactions. Progress is tracked through clearer communication, reduced reactivity, and better problem solving between people.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the scope of practice for an LMFT licensed in Indiana and Michigan. Before booking, confirm current session options and logistics through the platform's scheduling process.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping how people respond to each other emotionally. It helps when anger and distancing patterns make conversations blow up or go silent. The Gottman Method focuses on the practical mechanics of relationships - communication habits, conflict management, and rebuilding trust after breaches.

Mindfulness techniques are used to slow automatic reactions, notice bodily signals, and choose responses rather than snap. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides tools for processing past hurts and reducing their hold on current behavior when trauma is part of the background.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss goals, history, and preferences to decide which methods to emphasize. That collaboration helps shape session focus and pacing so the work fits the client's needs.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the therapist's biography does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people attend without traveling. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to learn which session types are offered and how they can be arranged to match everyday life.
