About Patricia

Patricia Loveland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with eight years of clinical work. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and trauma. Patricia aims to make beginning therapy less scary and more useful for people who want change.

She creates an open space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings. Conversations are meant to be straightforward and nonjudgmental.

Background and approach

Patricia emphasizes listening first, then working together on what helps in daily life. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build committed action.

She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional understanding. Sessions often focus on small, practical steps. That can mean skills for managing strong emotions, strategies for better sleep and eating, or plans to reduce harmful patterns like substance use.

Patricia also helps with parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, career stress, and coping with major life changes. People who work with her tend to want clear guidance and collaborative goal-setting. Patricia balances empathy with concrete techniques so clients leave with things they can try between sessions.

Her practice aims to support steady, manageable progress toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Patricia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. CBT focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep stress, anxiety, or low mood going.

She also draws on client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to build trust and stronger emotional understanding during sessions. These approaches help when people need empathy, better communication skills, or tools to repair relationships. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Patricia collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits that fit busy family lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when screens aren’t convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short, real-time check-ins and moments of support. These options make it easier to use therapy consistently and practice skills in daily life.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
