About Chiquita
Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC practicing in North Carolina. She has eleven years of experience in counseling and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship strain.
Her background includes work across inpatient and outpatient settings and programs that supported young adults with employment, education, and health needs. That experience exposed her to a wide range of concerns, including trauma, abuse, substance issues, and complicated family situations.
Background and approach
Chiquita uses a straightforward, interactive style in sessions. She listens with respect and tailors conversations to each person’s needs. She avoids stigmatizing labels and keeps the work practical and grounded in real life.
Her clinical approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused methods. That mix helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build new habits one step at a time. People come to her for help with parenting stress, work pressures, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
She also supports clients dealing with domestic violence, sexual assault and blended family challenges. She works in English and offers several online session formats. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
Approaches that fit online therapy
Chiquita uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, often helping with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.She also draws on solution-focused therapy to identify practical next steps and goals. That approach centers on small, achievable changes and works well when someone wants clear, short-term progress. Finding the right combination of these approaches is part of the work together; the therapist and client decide collaboratively what to try based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people read facial cues during deeper conversations. Phone calls are useful when a quieter space or lower bandwidth is needed. Chat and messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can match daily routines and practical needs.
