    About Patricia

    Patricia DeBor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She brings a calm, direct style to sessions and focuses on helping people get unstuck and move toward goals. Patricia practices in Idaho and works in English.

    Her main focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, process addictions such as porn or gambling, seasonal affective disorder, and sexual assault and abuse. Patricia aims to tailor practical tools to each person’s situation.

    Patricia uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She leans on client-centered work to listen and follow what matters most to the person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills.

    Sessions emphasize clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Patricia helps people identify small, manageable changes and practices to try between meetings. She encourages collaboration so clients feel involved in deciding the next steps.

    Her background includes private practice, military settings, and higher education. This variety informs how she responds to common stressors and life transitions.

  2. How her approaches fit into online therapy

    Patricia uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters and find their own reasons to change; this method focuses on listening, asking reflective questions, and building motivation at a comfortable pace. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationships affect current reactions and safety in relationships, which can help when coping with grief, trauma, or intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her way of working too, which means sessions follow the person’s lead and emphasize empathy and respect.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will choose or combine methods together with them. This collaborative process helps shape goals that feel realistic and relevant to everyday life.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid needing to be on camera if that helps someone concentrate. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and coping skills for remote sessions so therapy fits into a busy life.
