Patricia Price, LCMHC

Patricia Price, LCMHC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, career shifts, depression, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her approach is direct and goal-focused, aimed at helping clients make practical changes that fit their lives.

Patricia practices counseling as a collaborative, mostly short-term process. She asks clients to take an active role and to try homework between sessions, such as journaling or targeted exercises. She explains that some goals move faster than others and that steady effort is part of the work.

Her clinical work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused principles along with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix is used to help people understand choices, spot unhelpful thinking, and set small goals that lead to change. She works with each person to build a plan and checks progress regularly.

Patricia trained at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and has long experience in school and community settings. She pairs practical tools with one-on-one support to help people meet daily demands and heal from difficult experiences.

Before starting, she outlines realistic timeframes, potential benefits and risks, and how the work will be measured. If goals aren’t being met, she revises the plan so sessions keep moving toward what the client wants.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can explore choices. It helps people build confidence and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and on what’s already working, so clients can make steady progress toward clear goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before to decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change if something isn’t working.

Online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent with counseling and carry new skills into daily routines.
