About Patricia
Patricia Lord is a licensed counselor with a decade of clinical experience in Kansas who centers her work on understanding each person's story and helping them find practical ways forward.
Background and approach
She uses a client-centered approach combined with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based strategies to address common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, and challenges around relationships and parenting. Patricia blends active skill-building with empathic listening to help clients navigate life transitions and cope with emotional pain.
Her practice emphasizes working with young people and adults facing mood disorders, eating and food-related issues, attachment and codependency concerns, and struggle with self-esteem and self-love. Patricia has supported clients through infidelity, postpartum depression, family problems, and other relationship-related stresses, offering solution-focused interventions alongside longer-term therapeutic work.
She aims to collaborate with each person to identify goals, strengthen coping skills, and increase satisfaction across daily life and relationships.
How these approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; online CBT sessions often include skill practice, worksheets, and collaborative problem solving that translate well to video or messaging formats. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and helping clients find their own solutions, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects understanding to build insight and self-acceptance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation, useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with difficult feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia treats approach selection as a collaborative decision, working with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. This allows flexibility to blend practical skills training with empathic, exploratory sessions as needed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as easier scheduling, the ability to meet from home, and multiple ways to stay connected between sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options support consistent work on goals and make it simpler for clients to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
