About Patunia
Patunia Medy offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and related life challenges. She works with adults who want clear goals and tools to manage daily struggles and improve well-being. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), she focuses on realistic steps clients can use between sessions.
Patunia keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people identify immediate problems and build skills for coping and decision making.
Background and approach
Topics she commonly addresses include trauma and abuse, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and career stress. Her background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Adelphi University and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Yeshiva University. She also holds an Advanced Certification in Child Welfare from Yeshiva University and is a Certified School Social Worker.
Those experiences inform her approach to problem solving and system-level issues. In sessions she blends practical strategies with attention to life context. That means breaking larger goals into short, doable steps and tracking progress over time.
Clients can expect clear suggestions, practice exercises, and conversations that focus on what works for their life. Patunia is based in Connecticut and speaks English. She has about 10 years of clinical experience helping people navigate transitions, cope with stress, and address emotional and behavioral concerns.
Her style is direct, caring, and focused on producing steady change.
Therapeutic methods you can try online
Patunia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on usable skills and clear goals. One common approach emphasizes skill building for coping and emotion regulation, teaching concrete techniques to manage anxiety, anger, and stress in daily life. Another approach concentrates on problem solving and behavior changes, breaking bigger issues into small steps and tracking progress to make steady improvements.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, challenges, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies if something is not working and to focus on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent progress over time.
