Patricia Lord, LPC, LCPC - Therapist in Kansas

About Patricia

Patricia Lord is a licensed professional counselor who brings ten years of experience to her practice in Kansas. She holds the LPC credential and the LCPC credential and works with parents and individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. Patricia writes and listens in plain terms so busy caregivers can get to the heart of problems quickly.

She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and learn practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

Her background includes training in play therapy and a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling. She has worked with adolescents, teens, and young adults on issues such as self-harm behaviors that are non-suicidal, adjustment after parental divorce, mood and anxiety concerns, and setting healthy boundaries. She also has experience helping people through grief, trauma, and eating or food-related problems.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods that focus on the person, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits, and mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to build small, achievable steps toward change. The work is collaborative and paced to what the individual needs.

Patricia approaches parenting and family-related concerns with practical strategies and empathy. She helps clients identify patterns that get in the way, practice new ways of responding, and track progress over time. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at usable outcomes, not jargon.

She conducts services in English and offers multiple online session formats. Readers in Kansas will find a clinician familiar with regional needs and everyday family pressures.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment, helping clients feel heard and supported while they sort out next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend methods and adapt them over time. This collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust what isn’t helping.

Online formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy family schedule. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions offer a flexible audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options increase convenience and make regular follow-up easier for parents and caregivers juggling many demands.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
