Patricia Wong, LCSW

Patricia Wong is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting stress, and questions about sexuality and non-monogamous relationships. Her approach is direct when needed and gently steady at other times, depending on what a person brings to sessions.

She uses practical, goal-focused methods to identify what is causing distress and to find workable steps forward. Patricia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address connection and closeness concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to tackle thoughts, behaviors, and motivation.

In sessions she balances short-term problem solving with attention to deeper patterns that keep people stuck. That means working on immediate tools for coping, and also looking at how past hurt or repeated cycles affect current relationships and mood. Patricia emphasizes clear, simple steps clients can try between meetings.

People often come to her feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stuck in negative cycles, or unsure how to rebuild trust and intimacy. She supports clients in naming the problem, setting small goals, and testing new ways of relating. Patricia encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Patricia practices in Florida as an LCSW. Sessions are offered in English. If you want to explore whether her style fits, the first step is to start a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How Patricia's approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original profile does not specify particular online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or after work. Some approaches, like CBT, translate well to shorter skills-based meetings, while emotionally focused work can be paced for deeper conversations. Patricia will help adapt methods to the session format you choose and your daily routine.
