About Patricia
Patricia Borrello-Monie is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 28 years of practice in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Patricia aims to create a calm, judgment-free space where clients can talk openly about what matters to them.
She uses practical conversations and tools to help people find clearer next steps. That can mean working on motivation, confidence, career challenges, or day-to-day coping skills.
Background and approach
Patricia listens first, then partners with clients to set small, realistic goals that match their values. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Client-centered conversation and mindfulness help people slow down and reconnect to what matters most.
Motivational Interviewing supports those who want to build momentum for change. Patricia has long experience with relationship- and family-related concerns and with issues tied to life transitions. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life matters, and veteran-related concerns.
Her work includes attention to trauma, post-traumatic stress, obsessions and compulsions, panic, and phobias. Sessions are offered in English and reflect her years working across settings in Louisiana. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and to use small, steady changes to move toward a more satisfying life.
How her approaches shape online care
Patricia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small actions toward a life they value. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and motivation concerns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going and to practice new, concrete behaviors that reduce distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try together. She and the client check what works and adjust plans so the therapy fits daily life and real needs.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match a client's routine, helping skills practiced in sessions transfer into everyday situations.
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.
