About Patricia
Patricia Bartley is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in North Carolina with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Patricia also focuses on issues such as attachment, communication, guilt and shame, and family of origin issues.
She uses a client-centered stance and mindfulness to guide conversations about feelings and difficult thoughts. Sessions often involve noticing patterns that repeat from earlier relationships and learning small, practical ways to shift those patterns. Patricia emphasizes clear, calm discussion about how emotions show up in daily life.
Her work pays close attention to how people connect with others and how loneliness or unmet needs affect behavior. She helps people name relational patterns, practice new ways of communicating, and address worries like panic attacks or persistent low mood. She also supports women dealing with transitions, postpartum struggles, and seasonal mood shifts.
Patricia combines elements of attachment-based work, emotionally-focused approaches, and cognitive behavioral techniques in session. Mindfulness practices are woven into conversations to help with regulation and focus. The aim is to make therapy feel practical and relevant to everyday routines.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Patricia commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and closeness. This approach helps people identify recurring roles and expectations learned in childhood and consider different ways to relate in adult life.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own perspective and pacing. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and follow their concerns rather than a fixed agenda.
Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques are used to notice and test unhelpful thoughts and to practice concrete behavior changes. Those tools can be useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and low mood.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Patricia will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. Adjustments can be made over time as needs change.
