Patricia Palmer

Patricia Palmer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She earned a master’s degree in counseling from Siena Heights University and brings 15 years of experience to her practice. Patricia focuses on helping people find practical ways to manage stress and emotional pain.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address difficult memories and daily struggles. Patricia describes her work as strength-based and aims to help people build tools they can use outside sessions. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Patricia also assists with relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and career concerns. She helps clients who face feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose. Practical skills for managing panic, postpartum depression, and other intense emotional reactions are part of her focus.

Her style is direct and hopeful. She offers down-to-earth guidance and simple strategies that fit everyday life. Patricia encourages small, steady changes and works with people to find what feels achievable for them.

To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing difficult or painful experiences in a way that reduces their hold on everyday life; online work using this approach often includes paced discussion and coping strategies to manage upsetting memories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values, which can be practiced through exercises and real-life homework. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating and self-soothing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist and client decide together which strategies feel most useful and realistic for daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how Patricia schedules sessions. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that focus on skill practice rather than paperwork. Some formats use less bandwidth or lend themselves to brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with Patricia during the initial steps to find a format and rhythm that fits your routine.
