About Patricia

Patricia Olachea Haessly is a licensed professional counselor with three decades of clinical experience helping people navigate emotional and life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. Patricia also works with clients facing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, chronic illness or pain, workplace strain, and cultural or immigration-related stressors.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and emotional attunement while drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused work, mindfulness practices, EMDR, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor care to each person’s needs. Patricia conducts therapy in both English and Spanish and brings long-standing experience supporting people through midlife crises, family of origin concerns, disruptive mood dysregulation, and the complex aftermath of trauma.

She aims to foster greater self-compassion and practical coping skills so clients can move toward more stable mood, improved relationships, and renewed purpose in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Patricia often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms. Attachment-based work is used to explore relational patterns and how early connections influence current intimacy and family dynamics, which can be helpful for improving relationships and addressing attachment issues. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize empathic listening and collaboration to create a respectful space where clients' goals guide the pace and focus of therapy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then recommend or combine approaches that seem most likely to promote meaningful change. She emphasizes compassion and practical coping tools while tailoring interventions to the individual's circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or textbased messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or geographic constraints and allow consistent continuity of care. Licensed professionals like Patricia can adapt evidenceinformed methods to remote formats so clients can pursue support from wherever they are.
