She earned a Master of Arts degree in Service Agency Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in 2005 and built her early clinical experience as an intern with Family Alternatives, Inc., completing 200 hours of counseling work before joining the agency as a case manager and therapist in 2006.

In 2007 she moved into the public school setting and has since served as a Professional School Counselor in North Carolina public schools for 13 years.

Patricia became licensed as a clinical counselor in North Carolina and practices under the credential LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - with license NC LCMHC 14606.

Her counseling approach emphasizes collaboration and active participation. Patricia draws on client-centered principles to support self-exploration and uses practical, goal-oriented strategies to help clients identify and reach meaningful objectives. She frames counseling as often relatively short-term while remaining open to continuing care as needed, and she asks clients to engage in homework tasks such as exercises or journal work to reinforce progress.

Patricia works with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, parenting and family issues, intimacy and relationship struggles, career transitions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She aims to create an organized treatment plan, review progress regularly, and adjust the plan when goals are not being met, always maintaining a clearly professional therapeutic relationship.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Practical Progress

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process - the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and support while the client explores values, feelings, and choices. This approach helps people who want a respectful, nondirective space to deepen self-understanding and build confidence in decision-making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with challenging life situations because it emphasizes concrete skills and short-term goals.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths rather than on lengthy problem analysis. It helps clients set clear goals, recognize progress, and apply small, achievable changes that move them toward the life they want.

Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia Price collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods as progress is evaluated so the work fits the individual. The therapist-client relationship is a team effort focused on meaningful outcomes.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy life or to connect from another location. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, timely feedback, and practical tools in a way that adapts to each client's schedule and communication preferences.
