About Patricia
Patricia Price is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, anger, low self-esteem, family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career changes, depression, coping with life transitions, and compassion fatigue. She offers straightforward support and practical steps for parents and families looking for direction.
Patricia speaks English and works with international clients from her North Carolina practice. She trained in counseling at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, earning a Master of Arts in Service Agency Counseling in 2005.
Background and approach
Early in her career she completed 200 internship hours at Family Alternatives, Inc. in Lumberton, NC and then worked there as a case manager and therapist. She later spent many years as a professional school counselor in North Carolina public schools and holds NC LCMHC license number 14606. Patricia describes counseling as a collaborative, goal-focused process.
She expects clients to be active in their work and often assigns practical exercises or journaling between sessions. Sessions are tailored to set clear goals, estimate time commitments, and track progress periodically so plans can be adjusted when needed.
Her practice draws on client-centered ideas and solution-focused techniques alongside cognitive-behavioral methods to help people notice choices, try new behaviors, and solve current problems. She keeps the counseling relationship professional and focused on the client’s goals and growth. Patricia emphasizes short- to mid-term work when appropriate, while remaining open to longer-term support when needed.
She aims to help parents and family members build tools they can use at home and in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online family and parenting work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the client feel heard. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps create a safe space to discuss family and parenting worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and uses small experiments and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is working now and builds practical steps to reach specific goals quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. She adapts techniques as progress is tracked, and she works with clients collaboratively to revise the plan when needed.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats let parents and caregivers join sessions from home, use brief check-ins between appointments, and practice homework with real-life timing. The variety of options makes scheduling easier and supports steady progress over time.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
