About Patricia

Patricia Rauda is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and provides a calm, nonjudgmental space for those who want to make changes. Patricia frames the work so it feels manageable and practical for busy families and individuals.

She uses clear, everyday language in sessions and encourages honest conversation about feelings and needs.

Background and approach

Patricia emphasizes listening first, then working together on simple steps that can ease tension at home. She supports people through relationship conversations, family problem solving, and parenting stress without pressuring them toward one solution. Patricia draws from client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective.

She also uses mindfulness tools to help people notice their thoughts and emotions in the moment. Solution-focused ideas guide short-term goal setting and small, concrete changes that can build momentum over time. With four years of experience and an LPC license in Texas, Patricia blends practical techniques with steady support.

She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and meets each person where they are. Patricia aims to empower clients to take the next steps they choose for themselves. Her approach is adaptable for different life stages and situations related to fertility, pregnancy and childbirth, cancer concerns, forgiveness work, and women’s issues.

Sessions are offered in formats that fit busy schedules and different communication preferences.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy in her practice means the therapist listens closely to each person and follows their lead. Online sessions give space for that listening whether by video or phone and help clarify what matters most to the client.

Mindfulness therapy focuses on noticing thoughts, sensations, and emotions without judgment. Patricia offers simple mindfulness exercises that can be practiced during a video visit or between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve focus.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals. In remote sessions Patricia and the client set short-term steps to try at home and then review progress, which often works well in the flexible rhythm of online work.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and fewer travel demands. With options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, people can choose the format that fits their day-to-day life and communication style.

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.

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.

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.
