Patricia Adams, LMHC

Patricia Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She earned her master’s degree in counseling in 2002 and has worked in community settings, schools, and private practice. Her background includes supporting people who are dealing with anxiety, grief, trauma, addictive behaviors, and major life changes.

Patricia uses straightforward, talk-based work to help people make changes. She often focuses on immediate problems and practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new ways of coping, and setting small goals to build forward momentum.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she listens closely, helps people name what matters most, and then experiments with strategies that can help in daily life. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are a key part of the difficulty.

Patricia also supports issues connected to family dynamics, parenting stress, codependency, abandonment, and life purpose. She brings experience from nonprofit, school, and private settings to inform practical, everyday tools rather than abstract theory.

If someone is looking for calm, direct guidance on coping skills, managing mood, or addressing substance use concerns, Patricia offers a steady, listening presence and clear steps forward.

Approaches that guide online work and practical steps

Patricia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens carefully and helps people identify what matters to them, then supports choices that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy when people want short-term, goal-oriented work. That approach highlights small changes and concrete steps that can lead to noticeable improvement in daily life. Together these methods let her tailor sessions to a person’s goals and the problems they bring to therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting the plan over time rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with people. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work or caregiving schedules, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Patricia aims to help people use approaches that fit into everyday life and support steady progress.
