About Patricia
Patricia Adams, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, has 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, family and parenting concerns, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses self esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching. Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work.
Patricia earned her master’s degree in counseling from the University of South Florida in 2002 and has held Florida licensure as an LMHC since 2005. Her background includes work in non-profits, schools, and private practice. That range of settings means she has experience with everyday stresses and more complex presenting issues alike.
In sessions she focuses on practical conversations and goal-oriented strategies. She helps people identify patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and set small, achievable steps. For trauma-related work she uses approaches that look directly at traumatic experience and its effects.
She also supports people navigating family problems, parenting strain, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress. Additional areas she attends to include abandonment, codependency, dependent or avoidant personality concerns, and grief at end of life.
Patricia offers straightforward coaching-style work when clients want focused direction. She works with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and life-purpose questions as well. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online session options
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping. Trauma-Focused work addresses the impact of traumatic events and supports processing symptoms related to post-traumatic stress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration to help clients clarify goals and feel heard. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or combination fits best based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. This selection is a collaborative part of the work rather than a one-time choice.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific online options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuity of care when circumstances change. Licensed professionals commonly adapt these approaches to remote work, keeping the focus on practical steps, skill building, and conversation that address day-to-day challenges.
