About Patricia
Patricia Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of formal counseling experience. She helps people cope with anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family concerns. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and offers straightforward, respectful support for parents, young adults, and individuals facing life transitions.
Before her current practice she spent many years working for the State of Texas in roles that involved helping people through high-stress situations.
Background and approach
That work exposed her to a range of issues such as custody and divorce questions, parenting strain, workplace problems, grief, and recovery after sexual assault or domestic violence. Patricia’s style is warm and motivating. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person’s strengths.
Sessions are collaborative and grounded in practical steps you can try between meetings. She commonly uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of coping. Patricia also blends emotionally-focused ideas to improve communication and connection when relationships feel strained.
Patricia aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and offers guidance, tools, and encouragement to move through challenges and toward clearer goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person seeking help, focusing on listening, respect, and the client’s own goals. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk through parenting stress, family conflict, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking that lead to distress and then tests small changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. CBT is useful for manageable homework tasks and concrete coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then recommend methods to try. Sessions can mix approaches so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversations and nonverbal cues, phone calls work well when video would be difficult, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping therapy practical and focused.
