About Chiquita
Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and trauma-related difficulties.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses relationship and family challenges, grief, intimacy and sexual assault recovery, ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, and workplace or career transitions. Her style is interactive and relatable, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.
Patterson has worked across settings including psychiatric residential care, intensive in-home services, and outpatient programs for children and adults, and she previously supervised a program serving young adults focused on education, employment, and well-being. She adapts treatment plans to each person’s situation and uses practical strategies drawn from evidence-informed approaches to support coping, problem solving, and goal attainment.
Those seeking guidance can expect a collaborative process that balances short-term solutions with skills-building for longer-term change. Patterson welcomes motivated clients ready to take steps toward improved wellbeing and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different needs.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress; it often includes practical exercises and skill-building that translate well to remote sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment attention and acceptance skills that can help with emotional regulation, stress reduction, and coping with trauma-related or chronic concerns. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes identifying immediate goals and leveraging strengths to create small, achievable steps toward improvement, making it useful for clients seeking targeted progress.
Finding the right approach is typically collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to explain options, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels relevant and doable. Clients can expect a partnership that balances short-term problem solving with skills that support longer-term wellbeing.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, and they allow for a mix of session types depending on what fits a client’s schedule and communication style.
