About Patricia

Patricia Pardy brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice in New York, combining cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and dialectical approaches to help clients address a broad range of concerns.

Background and approach

Patricia, LMHC and LCPC, emphasizes practical strategies to reduce anxiety and stress while also exploring family dynamics, relationship patterns, grief, and life transitions. She draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients clarify goals and develop skills for coping with emotional challenges and day-to-day stressors.

Her work often integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support behavioral change and build awareness, and she also attends to complex topics such as trauma, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and issues within alternative sexual cultures like BDSM and kink.

Patricia adapts interventions to fit each person’s circumstances, whether navigating career decisions, blended family problems, caregiver stress, or forgiveness and guilt. With a collaborative, empathetic stance, she aims to create a respectful space where clients can explore concerns, develop insight, and practice new ways of responding to life’s difficulties.

Practical approaches for online care and skill building



Patricia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies for changing behaviors and reducing symptoms of anxiety or depression. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that supports clients in exploring values, feelings, and interpersonal concerns at their own pace. These approaches are commonly combined with mindfulness practices and dialectical skills to strengthen emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to determine which techniques feel most useful, adjusting interventions as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other locations, making it easier to keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions.
