About Patricia
Patricia Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 10 years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
Her style is conversational and direct. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what practical steps a person can try between meetings. She uses clear talk, reflective listening, and problem-solving to help people reduce immediate distress and manage daily demands.
Patricia draws on several established approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered listening. She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that influence behavior and feelings. When trauma is present she has experience using EMDR as one possible tool alongside other techniques.
People often come to address relationship strain, parenting stress, or life transitions. She works with concerns such as addictions, bipolar symptoms, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, blended family challenges, and end-of-life or hospice related counseling.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered from her Kentucky practice. Patricia expects to collaborate on goals and practical steps, and she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to set up an initial session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Patricia uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress. She also offers client-centered work, which focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and supporting your own decision-making.When trauma is part of the picture she has experience with EMDR as one option to address distress tied to painful memories. EMDR is used alongside other approaches and is intended to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories while other skills are taught to manage reactions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss options and make decisions together based on your goals, symptoms, and how you prefer to work. That collaboration helps set practical steps and short-term targets you can try between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals adapt methods like CBT or client-centered talk to work over virtual meetings or phone contacts depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most useful.
