About Patricia
Patricia Godwin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in UT and ID with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting pressures, career uncertainty, and addictions. Her practice also addresses trauma, grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Patricia uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. She listens for patterns in behavior and thinking and helps clients try small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past events affect current choices.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Gottman Method ideas when relationship communication is a problem. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to set goals and build momentum toward them.
Patricia avoids clinical labels in favor of clear problem-solving. She helps people talk through difficult decisions, set boundaries, and rebuild routine after loss or change. She also supports those coping with aging issues, cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, and postpartum concerns.
Clients can expect practical suggestions, goal setting, and an emphasis on things that fit into busy lives. Patricia combines long experience with a focus on everyday functioning, such as work, family roles, and health-related stressors.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's concerns and adjust the pace to what feels most useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches specific skills to test and change thinking patterns; this can work well in online sessions through homework, thought logs and brief skill practice. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication skills and conflict patterns in relationships, offering concrete exercises couples can try between sessions to improve listening and repair.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so work stays focused on daily functioning and realistic steps.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into work or family schedules and reducing commute time. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can support short check-ins, skill practice, and regular weekly sessions that aim to fit into everyday life without disrupting routines.
