About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Woodson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked in community mental health, private practice, and school settings. Her caseload has included children, adolescents, adults, and families, and she lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and anger among her focus areas.
Trish keeps explanations plain and practical in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Conversations often look at immediate problems and small changes that make daily life easier.
Her background includes work with parenting issues, blended families, ADHD, and grief. She also notes experience with intimacy-related issues, career strain, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. That range comes from years in clinics, schools, and private practice settings.
In session she tends to set clear goals and practice skills between meetings. Clients can expect a focus on measurable steps, thought patterns, and behavior strategies. Trish also brings attention to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care topics, and separation or divorce matters when they relate to presenting concerns.
Her approach suits people who want straightforward tools for managing anger, stress, or relationship tension. She asks practical questions, suggests experiments to try between sessions, and tracks progress over time. To begin, follow the site's process to connect and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain anger or anxiety, and then test alternative responses. CBT is often helpful for stress, depression, and patterns that fuel reactive behavior.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps. This approach helps when someone wants concrete changes quickly, such as reducing snapping at loved ones or handling workplace frustration.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide whether CBT, solution-focused work, or a mix fits their goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They can also allow for more frequent brief contacts when practical, and for working on real-life situations that come up between meetings.
