About Patricia

Patricia Wornum is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and family and parenting struggles. She approaches sessions with warmth and patience. Her style is straightforward and supportive for people ready to make changes in their life.

Patricia creates a space where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. She focuses on understanding each person's situation first, then works with them to set realistic goals. Conversations tend to be practical and centered on steps a person can try between sessions.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses specific areas such as adoption and foster care, pregnancy and childbirth, substance misuse, and problems with communication. Patricia pays attention to how life transitions and role stresses affect daily functioning.

With a decade of clinical experience, Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her approach. She favors methods that lead to clear strategies for coping and recovery. The focus is on helping people build skills for managing panic, mood changes, and persistent worry.

Clients come away with clearer coping plans and steps they can use in the moment. Patricia encourages steady progress and checks in on how tools are working. She supports clients through setbacks and helps them find a path toward greater self-love and life purpose.

Approaches and how online work can fit your life

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at helping people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach she relies on teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic, such as breathing exercises, grounding, and gradual exposure to feared situations. This helps people reduce intense physical reactions and regain a sense of control.

She also uses methods focused on mood and behavior change that break down larger problems into manageable steps. These techniques help with depression, motivation, and building routines that support day-to-day functioning. For trauma-related concerns, she employs structured strategies that focus on safety, pacing, and processing upsetting memories in a stepwise way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with clients to identify what fits their goals, preferences, and current needs. Together they review which techniques feel most useful and adjust the plan over time so sessions remain effective and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to work with a licensed professional from different locations within the same state while keeping appointments aligned with daily life.
