About Patricia
Patricia Gonzales is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, anger, sleep problems, and issues related to self-esteem and life transitions.
Patricia approaches work believing each person knows their own story and brings strengths to difficult moments. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way and to build practical steps forward. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as clearer ways to understand patterns that repeat.
Her clinical methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused methods. That mix is used to set short-term goals, shift unhelpful thinking, and rewrite personal narratives that keep people stuck.
Patricia also has experience with issues that arise around hospice and end-of-life care, veteran and armed forces concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, phobias, postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and compassion fatigue. She brings that background to conversations about how those experiences affect daily life and relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. For people wanting to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building on a person’s own strengths to clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral methods look at patterns of thinking and behavior and teach concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage anger. Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and find internal reasons to make lasting changes.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. She treats this as a collaborative process and checks in regularly about what’s helpful and what should change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and fitting sessions into busy days. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and options that don’t require video if someone prefers less bandwidth or a quieter experience.
