Patrice Trevoledes, LMFT - Therapist in California

About Patrice

Patrice Trevoledes is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses practical, person-focused methods to support people facing life challenges. She draws on 34 years of clinical experience to help clients untangle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, depression, and struggles with motivation. She speaks plainly and works alongside clients to identify strengths and next steps.

Patrice sees the person first and treats symptoms as part of a larger story.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear goals, steady skill building, and honest conversation. She encourages small changes that add up over time and helps clients practice new ways of coping between meetings. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and emotion-focused techniques.

Those methods are used to address patterns of thinking, painful emotions, and relationship moments that keep people stuck. Patrice also incorporates grounding skills from dialectical behavior therapy when stress or strong feelings overwhelm day-to-day life. With many years of work in the field, she brings calm experience to difficult topics like grief, addiction concerns, career transitions, and identity questions.

She also supports people exploring family history, forgiveness, life purpose, or issues linked to seasonal mood changes. Patrice practices in California as a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT. She offers sessions in English and provides a straightforward, collaborative style for people ready to take the next step toward feeling better.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences decide their actions. It supports values-based choices and can be useful when someone wants clearer direction or help handling anxiety and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, helps people understand and shift emotional responses that affect relationships and connection. It is often used when emotions keep patterns stuck and when improving closeness and trust matters.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Patrice will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying a method, checking in, and adjusting as needed so therapy stays useful.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer a simpler option, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These options provide flexibility and let people maintain continuity of care when schedules or distance make in-person visits hard.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
