About Patricia
Patricia Wong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, ADHD and related concerns. She also supports people navigating sexuality and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She adapts to each person’s needs and can be active and direct when that helps. At other times she listens quietly and offers calm, respectful feedback.
Patricia uses solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral techniques to map symptoms and try concrete changes. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and to help people notice how emotions affect their choices.
Sessions tend to focus on immediate problems and next steps. That can mean setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and revising plans based on what works. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to keep going when progress stalls.
Her background includes long-term practice in community settings and one-on-one clinical work across common life challenges. She approaches issues like trauma, parenting strain, and mood changes in direct, manageable ways. The aim is to help people reduce distress and increase usable skills for everyday life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered work focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her, helping people feel heard and guiding the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change emotional responses that keep problems repeating.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will review what feels most relevant and will adjust methods as goals and needs become clearer. She aims to match techniques to what the client wants to work on, whether that is mood, parenting stress, or relationship patterns.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, let someone check in from a quieter spot, or use shorter sessions for targeted skills practice. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working on concrete strategies and small behavior changes.
