Patricia Uhan, LPC, LMHC

Patricia Uhan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Patricia also addresses issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress.

She has worked in community mental health settings with survivors of sexual abuse or assault and with people managing PTSD, substance use concerns, and complex personality-related presentations. That work included supporting people with severe and persistent mental illness and co-occurring diagnoses across a diverse client base. These roles shaped how she approaches crisis and longer-term care.

Patricia uses a mix of practical strategies and talk-based support. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and early-care experiences that affect current reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify values and take committed action despite difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy underlies a conversational, respectful style that keeps the person’s perspective central.

Sessions move at a steady, problem-solving pace. Patricia pays attention to cultural context when relevant and adjusts methods to what each person needs in the room. To begin, she asks about current struggles and what realistic steps would feel useful in daily life.
