About Patricia
Patricia Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, addictions, career stress, ADHD, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and brings five years of counseling experience to her work.
Before becoming an LPC, she spent 26 years working for the State of Texas supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families in high-stress situations. That background shaped her practical approach to common problems like custody disputes, divorce, workplace stress, and blended family dynamics. She pays attention to how daily life and systems affect mood and behavior.
Her style is warm, respectful, and motivating. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person's strengths. Sessions center on honest conversation and developing clear steps clients can try between meetings.
Patricia blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor treatment to each person. She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy when they fit the goals in front of her. Goals might include reducing anxiety, improving parenting skills, or managing grief.
Her work is collaborative: she helps clients set practical goals and builds plans they can use outside sessions. People who want a supportive counselor with a background in state services and family-focused concerns often find this approach helpful.
Online approaches that meet people where they are
Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validating feelings, and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings are connected and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors conversations and homework to what is realistic for the client's life and adjusts techniques as progress happens.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a workday. Some formats also let people choose audio-only meetings when less bandwidth is needed or when they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can discuss which format would best support your goals when you set up your first appointment.
