About Patricia

Patricia Pardy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of experience. She is based in New York and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions.

Patricia focuses on practical steps that help people manage strong emotions and day-to-day strain. She works with issues such as parenting concerns, family conflict, grief, career stress, and coping after major changes. She also addresses matters related to ADHD, self-esteem, and sexual subcultures including BDSM and kink when those topics are relevant to a person's goals.

Her approach mixes well-known methods. Patricia uses client-centered techniques to listen and clarify what matters to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to notice patterns of thinking and behavior that make problems worse. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and impulse control.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused. Patricia helps people set realistic steps, practices new skills together in session, and checks progress regularly. She pays attention to communication problems, control issues, and the effects of family of origin dynamics on current relationships.

People who want to start are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and book a first session. Patricia works in English and is not taking international clients at this time.

How sessions work

How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work

Patricia commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people clarify what matters to them. This approach supports exploring anger triggers, relationship patterns, and parenting questions in a conversational way.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and anger management because it includes clear exercises and homework to practice between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, DBT skills, or mindfulness practices best match their goals. That choice can shift as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific session formats. Ask about available online session options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits alongside work and family responsibilities.
