Patricia Price

Patricia Price is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and life transitions. She works with clients who are managing anger, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and depression. Her style is practical and collaborative, aimed at helping people make changes that fit their daily lives.

Patricia trained in counseling at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and has worked in both community agencies and public schools. She spent early clinical hours with Family Alternatives, Inc., then moved into school counseling and has over a decade in that setting. Her background informs an approach that is familiar with family dynamics and school-related stressors.

In sessions she emphasizes active participation. Clients can expect goal setting, short-term plans, and homework such as exercises or journaling. Patricia frames counseling as a cooperative process where the client does the core work and the counselor offers guidance and tools.

Her practice draws on person-centered ideas and solution-focused methods to promote self-exploration and clearer decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are also part of her toolkit when addressing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Before beginning, Patricia and the client agree on goals, time commitment, and how progress will be measured. If a plan is not working, she revises it with the client so the work stays practical and focused on real-life changes.

How her approaches shape online work

Patricia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. That approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people explore their own choices so they can meet needs more effectively.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. CBT-style work often includes specific exercises and practical tasks that target symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit for short-term goal work. This method emphasizes small, achievable steps and measuring progress toward clear outcomes, which can be useful when coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how much time they want to spend in counseling. Together they decide which methods and homework make the most sense and adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow use of written exercises or screen-shared worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people address stress, transitions, relationship concerns, grief, and other issues without asking you to change daily routines.
