About Patricia

Patricia Tingler-Baker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky and Tennessee with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Patricia also focuses on caregiver stress, domestic violence, substance use, and workplace issues.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people set practical goals. Conversations are aimed at making small changes that fit everyday life and responsibilities.

Patricia uses several therapeutic methods to support clients. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and commit to actions that matter to them.

She also works with client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation when useful. Sessions emphasize clear skills, real-life practice, and planning for what comes after the hour.

People who choose Patricia can expect direct, practical conversations about next steps. She helps identify priorities, build coping strategies, and address barriers like guilt, isolation, or financial stress. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first meeting are the usual next steps.

BHow sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches fit online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values. It can help with motivation, life changes, and coping when avoidance or worry gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and habits related to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and circumstances. That means starting with what feels most pressing, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan together as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, or make it easier to follow through on regular appointments. Online meetings can allow focused skills practice, brief check-ins between in-person visits, or consistent weekly sessions that align with work and family schedules.
