About Patricia

Patricia Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a decade of experience helping people navigate hard times. She practices in Kentucky and brings a straightforward, compassionate style to sessions. Patricia focuses on listening carefully and building a plan that fits each person’s needs. Her work covers many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and jealousy. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, body image and attachment difficulties. Patricia pays attention to how past family relationships affect current choices. Patricia uses approaches that put the person at the center of care. She blends client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. When trauma is involved, she includes methods that help process upsetting memories and reduce their hold in day-to-day life. Sessions are interactive and respectful. Patricia aims to reduce blame and stigma while helping people name what matters most to them. She works with each client to shape goals and track progress in simple, concrete steps. People who prefer a warm, collaborative therapist often find her style fits. She invites clients to take the first step and offers steady support while they make changes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients decide their own goals. This approach helps when people need support naming values and making everyday choices.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like low self-esteem or anger.

EMDR is a method used when trauma memories keep coming back and causing distress. It aims to reduce the intensity of those memories so they interfere less with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist can explain which approaches she uses and how they fit into remote sessions. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins during a busy week. It can also let people use lower-bandwidth formats if that helps them stay connected.
