About Patricia

Patricia Breshears is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 32 years of experience offering empathetic, skillful psychotherapy. She is described as kind and caring, and she aims to create a space where clients feel heard while also receiving practical, actionable recommendations. Patricia emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, building trust and rapport as the foundation for effective work together.

Her approach is intentionally eclectic, drawing from solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness practices, and client-centered principles. She tailors interventions to each person, highlighting strengths, abilities, and skills to help clients move toward individualized goals. This strengths-based orientation supports clients in developing tools they can use beyond sessions.

Patricia works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, family and relational issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges related to self esteem and life purpose. She collaborates with clients to design clear, goal-oriented plans that respect each personâs pace and preferences, offering guidance grounded in decades of clinical experience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns by focusing on practical skills and step-by-step changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of feelings and sensations. It can reduce reactivity to stress, support emotional regulation, and complement work on trauma, grief, and relationship challenges.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and forward-looking goals rather than extensive problem analysis. It is useful for clients who want actionable strategies to resolve specific concerns and to build on what is already working in their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia collaborates with each client to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules, manage caregiving responsibilities, or work with a licensed professional from their own community. These options support consistent engagement and make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
