About Patricia
Patricia Manning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and ADHD. Patricia uses straightforward talk and practical strategies so parents can make real changes for their families.
She draws on a client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on building skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Patricia also uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical skills when people need concrete tools to manage intense emotions or unhelpful thoughts. Patricia’s background includes long experience with adoption, foster care, attachment concerns, and working with people affected by domestic violence and trauma. That history has shaped how she supports people who are healing from loss, betrayal, or painful life changes.
She aims to help people find steadier relationships and clearer purpose. In sessions she balances compassion with direct feedback. She will listen closely, reflect what she hears, and introduce exercises that help people practice new habits between meetings.
Patricia encourages small, doable steps that add up over time. Based in Oregon, Patricia offers office-style therapy in an approachable manner. Her practice is aimed at helping people reduce overwhelm, improve relationships, and regain a sense of possibility in life.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach focus on building safer, more predictable ways of relating and strengthening bonds with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT uses practical exercises and homework to help people change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors between meetings.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend one or a mix of methods. That collaborative planning means the plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging is useful for short updates, homework review, or when people prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work lives while keeping focus on practical skills and steady progress.
