Patricia Price, LCMHC

Patricia Price is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Sessions are presented as a collaborative effort where the client does active work between meetings.

She uses direct, practical work in sessions and gives homework such as exercises or journaling. Patricia views counseling as often being short-term but will continue as needed. She emphasizes clear goals, time frames, and periodic review of progress so adjustments can be made when something is not working.

Her training includes a Master of Arts in Service Agency Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and earlier supervised counseling internships. She spent many years working in school settings and community agencies, gaining experience with a wide range of concerns people bring to counseling.

In practice she relies on person-centered ideas and reality therapy principles, encouraging self-reflection and practical decision-making. Cognitive and behavioral techniques are used alongside those approaches to help people change patterns that contribute to anger, anxiety, or depression.

Clients can expect a straightforward therapeutic relationship focused on the work at hand. The therapist describes the relationship as professional rather than personal and asks clients to be active participants in the process. This includes committing to the agreed plan and completing suggested tasks between sessions.
