Patricia Palmer, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Patricia

Patricia Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She brings 15 years of experience and a practical, strength-based approach to helping families and parents manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. Patricia aims to help people find calm and clearer ways to handle everyday pressures and relationship struggles.

She takes a straightforward, supportive style in sessions. Conversations focus on real problems and usable steps. Patricia listens, helps identify priorities, and works with each person to build coping skills they can use at home.

Background and approach

Patricia uses a range of evidence-informed methods to match each family's needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from attachment-focused ideas to improve connection and trust. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action.

Her background includes work across multiple settings with individuals and families. That experience informs a flexible approach for parents juggling caregiving, work, and personal stress. Patricia often supports people dealing with parenting challenges, communication problems, and caregiver strain.

Sessions are practical and goal-minded. Parents and family members can expect clear suggestions, skill practice, and a focus on small changes that add up. Patricia emphasizes building tools that fit each household and daily routine.

Therapeutic approaches for online family support

Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help parents and family members identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more helpful thoughts. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to strengthen connections between family members. This approach looks at how patterns of relating affect trust and communication, and it can be helpful for improving parent-child interactions and couple communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and household needs. That process may include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to meet around childcare, work, and school routines and allow practice of skills in real-life settings. The variety of options aims to increase flexibility and keep therapy practical for parents and caregivers.

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.
