About Patricia
Patricia Wong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family stress, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes.
Her style is direct when needed and more quiet and reverent at other times. She uses solution-focused work alongside cognitive behavioral and motivational interviewing techniques. Sessions focus on identifying current symptoms and practical, short-term steps to reduce distress.
Patricia often helps people who feel stuck by looking at patterns formed after difficult experiences. She talks through how past neglect or abuse can lead to harmful cycles today. This includes attention to sexuality and non-monogamous or polyamorous relationship concerns when those topics are part of someone’s issues.
In sessions she balances active guidance with listening. That can mean setting small goals, trying behavioral changes, or practicing ways to calm anxious thinking. She also addresses career stress, self-esteem, anger, and coping skills for life transitions.
Her approach aims for clear, usable strategies rather than long theoretical explanations. People who want straightforward feedback and practical steps to manage symptoms may find this approach helpful. To begin, readers are encouraged to review online therapy options and complete the intake steps listed on the site.

How Patricia's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, validates feelings, and helps the person decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and uses small experiments and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses in close relationships to reduce distress and increase connection.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about goals and try approaches that fit those goals. She adjusts methods based on how someone responds, working together to pick techniques that feel useful and manageable.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel. It can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, eliminate commuting time, and let people use techniques at home between meetings. The therapist will discuss what scheduling and session length work best during the initial matching and planning steps.
