About Patricia
Patricia Glynn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont, with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating and body image issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, career questions, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and related challenges. She also lists work around abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, commitment problems, communication, and divorce.
Patricia speaks plainly and works with adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She aims to identify practical steps clients can try right away. Sessions include looking at patterns, building skills, and testing small changes to see what helps in daily life.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of South Florida. She received recognition from the U.S. Rehabilitation Services Administration and membership invitations to academic honor societies during her studies. Her professional credentials are FL LMHC and VT LCMHC.
Before counseling work she spent more than 25 years in the fitness and wellness field. That experience shaped a practical, action-focused approach that mixes talking, skill practice, and concrete planning. She has taught strength and conditioning, written for an international fitness magazine, and assisted on exercise research projects.
In sessions she draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and narrative methods. The emphasis is on clear, workable tools and understanding the story a person tells about their life. She encourages steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
People who come to her often want straightforward help with daily struggles at home and work, clearer communication, and ways to feel more grounded. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first meeting so work can begin efficiently.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a collaborative relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients set their own goals; it is useful for motivation and dealing with life changes and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets current patterns of thinking and behavior. It breaks problems into small, testable steps and teaches concrete skills for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and problems that keep repeating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign short exercises or mindfulness practices between meetings so new skills are practiced in everyday life.
