About Patricia

Patricia Wong is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship strain, addiction, anger, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Her style is direct when needed and calm when a quieter approach makes more sense.

She uses practical, solution-focused methods and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. Sessions aim to identify current symptoms and build steps you can try between meetings. Patricia also works with issues that come from past trauma and abuse and with questions about intimacy, sexuality, and non-monogamous relationships.

In session she can be active and purposeful or gently reflective depending on what the moment calls for. Conversations tend to focus on clear strategies for managing thoughts, behaviors, and difficult emotions. Work may include looking at patterns that keep repeating and testing small changes to break those cycles.

She describes therapy as a hands-on process that addresses present-day problems and the ways past experiences still show up. Practical tools, short-term goals, and honest discussion of what’s working are common parts of the process. Patricia asks clients to notice what changes between sessions and to bring that information back to guide next steps.

People contact her for help with career stress, low self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, bipolar and depression symptoms, and relationship issues including polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements. She provides services in English and practices in Florida.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help

Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a calm, respectful place to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify goals and increases motivation for change by working through ambivalence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss options and together you will decide what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative step helps shape which techniques are emphasized in ongoing sessions.

The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote conversations because they focus on skill practice and homework you can try between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt methods like CBT and motivational interviewing to an online setting while keeping the focus on usable strategies for managing anger, stress, and relationship concerns.
