About Patricia
Patricia "Trish" West is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma or abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work also addresses relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, career stress, ADHD, and issues related to caregiving and chronic illness.
Trish uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking while also listening for past patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions often combine client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing.
She pays attention to how people tell their stories and how those stories shape present choices. Narrative therapy techniques can help people reframe painful events and find different ways forward. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-image.
The therapist helps people set realistic goals and break them into manageable steps. Work might include practicing new communication, coping strategies for panic or anger, or ways to manage mood swings and energy. For people dealing with caregiving, chronic pain, or grief, the focus is on practical strategies that reduce daily strain.
Trish works in English and does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy starts with listening and helping people name their priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on clear, practical conversation about what is most pressing and what the client wants to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT often includes homework, brief skill practice, and step-by-step planning to reduce anxiety or manage mood swings.
Motivational interviewing helps people find reasons to make changes and build momentum. When used online it supports setting realistic goals and identifying small, achievable steps between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trish will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what is helping and adjusts plans together as progress or obstacles appear.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions often include easier fitting of appointments into a workday, fewer travel constraints, and the chance for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Those points can make consistent work on goals more feasible without promising a particular service.
