About Patricia
Patricia Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting difficulties, addiction, ADHD, and family of origin issues. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and to change patterns that keep people stuck.
Patricia uses a mix of familiar therapy approaches to help people understand how their early family roles and expectations still influence choices. She talks through current problems and looks back at family patterns when that helps make sense of present-day reactions. Conversations are direct and goal-focused, with room to process difficult feelings when needed.
In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and on EMDR where addressing past distressing memories is useful. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used to notice recurring themes in relationships and self-view.
Patricia’s practice includes working on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family matters, and parenting strain. She also supports those coping with loss, body image problems, control issues, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes a decade of clinical work with people dealing with trauma, emotional abuse, and life transitions.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep stress and anxiety active and to try practical behavior changes. CBT helps with worry, mood shifts, ADHD coping, and relationship interactions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns so sessions reflect what matters most to the person.When past distressing memories are part of the concern, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, may be used to process upsetting memories and reduce their intensity. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are woven in as needed to notice repeated themes from family of origin experiences and how they shape current choices. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative; Patricia will help identify what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences over the first few meetings.
If you plan to have sessions online, confirm the current session formats before booking since those options are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of care during life changes while focusing on the same therapeutic goals as in-person work.
