About Patricia
Patricia Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of professional counseling experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and related concerns such as depression, self-esteem, and addictions.
She draws on a long background of public service. Before her current practice she spent 26 years working for the State of Texas supporting people through high-stress situations. That work involved helping adults, adolescents, and others with issues like child custody, divorce, and workplace problems that can damage confidence and effectiveness.
In sessions she uses practical, conversational approaches. She combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are also part of her toolbox when clients want clear steps and short-term goals.
Patricia is comfortable addressing family-related topics such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, domestic violence, immigration-related stress, and separation or divorce. She also works with people facing grief, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and young adult issues.
She offers work in both English and Spanish. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's online flow.
How sessions work
How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while they sort through family or parenting worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and name emotions and can be useful for addressing relationship-related distress and family conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT exercises for anxiety, leaning on client-centered conversations to process trauma, or using solution-focused steps for parenting challenges. The plan can change as needs change.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or choosing interactions that suit energy levels and attention. The focus is on practical ways to make sessions useful and manageable while working toward the client’s goals.
