About Patricia
Patricia Pardy is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She brings 20 years of experience to sessions and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Patricia uses familiar language and practical tools so parents can act on what they learn between meetings.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly about hard topics. Patricia blends several methods rather than relying on a single technique.
Background and approach
She draws from client-centered work to center each persons priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are included when they fit the situation.
In practice she helps with relationship and family problems, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and parenting challenges. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, and issues related to sexual identity and alternative sex culture. ADHD, impulsivity, and midlife questions are also within her focus.
Patricia holds an MA and practices as an LMHC and LCPC. She has worked in counseling roles for two decades and combines experience with straightforward strategies that parents can use at home. Sessions can be scheduled to match each family's needs and availability.
To begin, prospective clients choose the Start Therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapists availability. Patricia does not accept international clients and sees people in English only.
How Patricia integrates proven approaches in online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and making space for what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the clients lead and builds treatment around their priorities and values, which can help when parenting issues or family concerns feel urgent.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life changes. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and for parents trying new ways to respond to difficult situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. These tools can be helpful for anger, impulsivity, and ongoing family conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Patricia will listen to your goals and suggest which methods to try first, then adjust as needed. The plan is collaborative and changes with what works for your family.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These formats allow parents to access therapy from home, during breaks, or between other obligations. The variety of options makes it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
