About Patricia
Patricia Wong is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people managing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and questions about sexuality or non-monogamous relationships. Her tone is direct but compassionate, and she adapts to each person’s needs.
Patricia’s style is practical and solution focused. She can be active and direct when a clear plan is needed.
Background and approach
She also offers calm listening and steady support when people need relief and perspective. Sessions often begin with identifying what feels most urgent. From there she and the client map small, achievable steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing are used to address thoughts, behaviors, and motivation. Patricia brings 13 years of clinical experience as a Florida LCSW - licensed clinical social worker. She combines emotion-focused work with problem-solving to address both feeling and action.
That means attending to painful feelings while also building practical coping skills. She aims for clear goals and realistic progress. People leave sessions with specific ideas to try between meetings and a plan to track what helps.
The focus is on making life more manageable, one step at a time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Patricia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and reflecting feelings so people feel understood and can explore what matters most. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation, useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and making concrete plans.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Patricia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on what is working and what feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messages work well for ongoing support, quick coaching, or tracking progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
