About Patricia
Patricia Pattan-O'Neal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Michigan with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. Her practice also addresses addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Patricia uses straightforward, person-focused care. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. She balances gentle reminders with firm accountability when that helps someone keep progress. Sessions often include practical skills and exercises rather than only talking about problems.
Her clinical work draws on client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she centers the person's experience and also looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She teaches coping skills, basic mindfulness, and ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Patricia also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, seasonal affective disorder, and social anxiety.
Her style is practical and goal-oriented. She helps people develop concrete strategies for daily life - at work, in relationships, and at home. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her client-centered and CBT work online
Patricia uses client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral therapy as the backbone of her online work. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping the client identify what matters most to them. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood before moving to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's situation. Over a few sessions she adjusts strategies based on what helps most, mixing listening with skills practice and behavioral experiments when appropriate.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering services at the time. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules demand it, or avoid travel time. It can also allow for phone-based or lower-bandwidth conversations when that better suits someone's routine. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable within everyday life.
