01About Patti-Rae
Patti-Rae Arocha is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel doable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She spends sessions listening to each person's story and helping them find practical ways to cope.
Background and approach
Conversations often include concrete tools for managing panic, lowering daily stress, and building self-esteem. When parenting concerns or postpartum struggles come up, she helps people break problems into smaller, manageable steps. Patti-Rae draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward useful, everyday change.
She works with people on grief and loss by pacing the work and supporting practical adjustments after a major life event. Financial stress, feelings of emptiness, and conflicts around control are explored with attention to clear goals and small experiments to try between meetings.
She also addresses issues that come up in adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, fertility-related losses, and struggles with guilt or shame. For people dealing with isolation or impulsivity, sessions focus on building habits and communication patterns that feel sustainable. Patti-Rae has four years of professional experience and practices in Louisiana as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.
She offers sessions in English and uses a collaborative, strengths-based approach to help people move toward what matters to them.

Evidence-based tools and online care that fit your life
Patti-Rae uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and handle strong emotions. One common approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing and grounding tools, along with behavioral steps to reduce avoidance and regain confidence. Another helpful area centers on grief and loss, where work moves at the client’s pace and includes ways to manage difficult days while rebuilding routines and meaning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patti-Rae collaborates with each person to decide what methods match their goals and preferences. She starts by listening, then suggests approaches and adjusts them based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online therapy provides several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a session that feels most like in-person conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, sharing wins, or working between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around school, work, or caregiving obligations.
