01About Patricia
Patricia Manning is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to conversations about parenting, relationships, grief, and self-esteem.

Her background includes long work with children, parents, and people affected by trauma, adoption, and foster care. She has worked in foster care, residential treatment, psychiatric settings, alternative schools, and shelters for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Background and approach
This range gave her direct exposure to attachment issues, dissociation, and complicated family dynamics. Patricia relies on approaches that center the person and their relationships. She uses Client-Centered techniques to build trust and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect present life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used for skills like managing anxiety, changing unhelpful thoughts, and coping with stress. Many clients meet her when life feels overwhelming or when past hurts keep returning. She draws on tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when trauma or intense emotions are present.
She also helps people facing career shifts, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and questions of life purpose. In sessions Patricia balances challenge with support. She encourages learning new skills, testing different choices, and recognizing strengths.
Her style is direct but compassionate, focused on real change rather than labels.

04Online support
Approach-driven online therapy for healing and skills
Patricia commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at bonds and trust and helps people see why they react to closeness or loss in certain ways. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the person's goals guide the work and the therapist listens without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for practical skill-building to manage anxious thoughts, shift unhelpful behaviors, and practice coping strategies.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest a path forward. That conversation can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and reaching out between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum while working toward change.
