About Patricia
Patricia Olachea Haessly is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship strains, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Patricia uses practical methods to help people manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at important relationships and how they affect feelings and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thoughts and build clearer coping steps. She also uses EMDR when trauma memories are a central problem and mindfulness practices to teach present-moment regulation skills.
Her approach is person-focused and conversational. She listens, asks clarifying questions, and helps people try manageable changes between sessions. Parents often come for help with sleep, parenting strain, or family problems. Others seek support for work stress, midlife transitions, or chronic illness complications.
Patricia brings long experience to practical concerns like mood swings, ADHD-related struggles, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses cultural and immigration-related stress and family of origin patterns. Expect straightforward discussion about goals and steps you can take outside sessions.
To begin, Patricia asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia uses attachment-based ideas to look at how important relationships shape current reactions and emotional patterns; this helps when relationship strain or parenting stress is central. Client-centered techniques focus on listening and supporting the person’s own goals, and are useful for building trust and planning small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practical homework, which many people find easy to try between remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize trauma processing, skill building, or relational patterns.
The specific session formats available are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people appreciate doing homework exercises and mindfulness practices between meetings to reinforce what is discussed in sessions.
