    About Patricia

    Patricia Godwin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career questions. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, addictions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Patricia writes in a direct, compassionate way and aims to make first steps feel possible for worried parents and individuals.

    She keeps sessions warm and interactive. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all script. Expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and practical discussion about what matters most to you.

    Patricia draws on approaches that include Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help people set goals, shift unhelpful patterns, and build small skills that change daily life.

    With 25 years of clinical experience, Patricia brings steady experience to common and complex concerns alike. She has worked with issues such as postpartum depression, midlife transitions, grief, hospice and end-of-life questions, chronic illness and cancer related stress, and challenges around communication and codependency.

    Patricia practices in Utah and provides services in English. She frames therapy as collaborative work and supports clients as they take practical steps toward clearer choices and better functioning.

  2. Approaches that guide online work and progress

    Patricia uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and strengthen their own motivation for change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change and wants to find their own reasons to move forward.

    She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which places the person's experience at the center of sessions and emphasizes empathy and respect. That approach helps people feel heard and understood while they sort through emotional concerns. Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practice small, practical steps that reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide what fits best.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, allow for quicker check-ins, and reduce travel time. Some formats may also be useful when lower bandwidth or a shorter, focused session is the best option.
