    About Patricia

    Patricia Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and addiction concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, bipolar disorder, anger, career stress, ADHD, and life transitions. Patricia speaks English and Spanish.

    Patricia draws on five years of counseling experience and many prior years working for the State of Texas with families, children, adolescents, and adults in high-stress situations. Her sessions are supportive and motivating. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels.

    Her work combines practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with a client-centered stance. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors while keeping the conversation focused on each person’s priorities. Patricia also uses elements of Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people find reasons to change and to strengthen important relationships.

    In a session she aims to tailor dialogue and goals to each person’s needs. Expect straightforward talk, gentle prompting, and collaborative planning rather than a one-size-fits-all script. Patricia emphasizes people’s strengths and builds on what already works in their lives.

    Her background includes addressing family conflict, adoption and foster care concerns, divorce and separation, domestic violence, immigration issues, workplace stress, and young adult challenges. She encourages anyone ready to make a change to reach out and begin the matching process.

  2. How approaches like Motivational Interviewing and CBT work online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to draw out motivation for steps the person wants to take. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s goals guide the work. Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and they will try a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs evolve. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Ask what options are available and how scheduling works. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quicker check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also let people join a session during a break at work or from a different part of their home when they need flexibility. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work so the focus stays on practical steps and honest conversation rather than on the technology used.
