About Chiquita
Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger.
Before moving into private practice she worked across a range of programs. These included psychiatric residential facilities, intensive in-home services, and outpatient work with both children and adults. She also supervised a program that supported young adults up to age 24 with employment, education, and health needs.
Her background includes responding to trauma, helping people who experienced physical or emotional abuse, and supporting those facing addiction or bipolar disorder. She has worked with people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD.
Therapeutically she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical. She aims to keep conversations respectful and non-stigmatizing while focusing on concrete steps a person can try between meetings.
Clients can expect a straightforward style that blends talking, skill-building, and short-term goal work. She has experience adjusting methods to fit work and family life. If someone wants to address anger that shows up at work or home, she helps people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to reduce reactivity and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention practices to notice moments of tension or anger without immediately reacting and can help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals and daily life. That may mean combining CBT tools, short solution-focused steps, and mindfulness exercises so the plan fits what the person wants to change.
Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find it simpler to try techniques between sessions and then review how those changes worked during the next meeting.
