About Patricia

Patricia Breshears is a compassionate, attentive therapist who centers her practice on building a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and rapport. She blends empathy with practical guidance, helping each person feel heard while offering clear recommendations suited to their unique situation.

As an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor), Patricia brings a client-centered, eclectic style to her work, drawing from several proven approaches including solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, narrative methods, and mindfulness practices. This range allows her to tailor interventions to a person’s strengths, skills, and life goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Patricia emphasizes collaboration and a strengths-based perspective, helping clients identify existing abilities and build new skills to reach individualized goals. Whether addressing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, or life transitions, she prioritizes a respectful, goal-oriented process that supports meaningful change over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia Breshears commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while building practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance techniques that can help people manage intense emotions, intrusive thoughts, and ongoing stress.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support clients who are ambivalent about change; this approach helps uncover personal motivation and strengthen commitment to steps that align with one’s values. Throughout the process Patricia collaborates with each person to determine which strategies best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, treating the selection of approach as a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access licensed professionals from home, and adapt sessions to work, family, or caregiving responsibilities.
