About Patricia
Patricia Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She meets each person with calm attention and respect, aiming to understand what matters most to them. Her style is warm and direct, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She uses several well-regarded approaches to tailor care to individual needs. Patricia draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and she uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools appear when helpful for managing emotions and changing unhelpful thinking.
Patricia is mindful of how life stage and caregiving roles affect well-being, so she often addresses aging and caregiver stress alongside mental health concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction issues, family of origin problems, isolation, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns. Veterans and people with post-traumatic stress are also listed among her focus areas.
She has nine years of clinical experience practicing in Texas. Patricia welcomes conversation about faith or spirituality as part of therapy when clients bring it up. Sessions are intended to be collaborative - she listens first, then helps people set clear goals and small, achievable steps.
To begin, readers are encouraged to review the therapist profile and follow the site's process to match with her. Patricia aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can work toward feeling more capable and connected.

How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. It focuses on listening, asking gentle questions, and highlighting each person's strengths and goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them set the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Patricia treats the choice of methods as collaborative - she will listen to your goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that seem like a good match. If something isn’t helping, adjustments are made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to continue regular work on skills between appointments. A licensed professional will discuss scheduling and formats during the matching process to find what fits your life. -
