About Patricia

Patricia Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 10 years of experience. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, ADHD, and anger. Patricia also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress related to work or life changes.

She uses straightforward, conversational sessions where clients talk through what is happening and build practical skills. Patricia draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to notice patterns of thought and behavior. She also uses client-centered listening and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape current reactions.

In sessions she aims to reduce shame and blunt labels that get in the way of progress. Conversations include goal-setting, identifying triggers, and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. For trauma-related work she may include EMDR and narrative approaches to process difficult memories in manageable steps.

Patricia frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people develop clearer coping strategies for anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain. Practical tools often include stress management, communication skill practice, and planning for setbacks.

Her background includes a decade of clinical work across varied concerns such as addictions, bipolar spectrum issues, attachment and family of origin difficulties, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect experience handling both acute and longer-term challenges.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Patricia uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy as core tools. Client-centered work means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them name issues and set aims. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to see what works for managing anger and anxiety.

She also uses EMDR for trauma when appropriate, which involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce their intensity. EMDR can help people who have strong reactions tied to past events and use it alongside other tools rather than as a standalone solution.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what methods feel most useful. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan over time based on progress and comfort.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of meetings into a busy week and options for shorter check-ins when needed. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes and to practice skills between visits without a large time commitment.
