Patricia Salinas, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Patricia

Patricia Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, family conflict, and trauma. She offers calm, practical support for parents and family members who are worried about behavior, custody questions, or family transitions. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and draws on five years of clinical counseling experience in Texas.

Before her current work she spent many years with the State of Texas helping families, children, adolescents, and adults manage high-stress situations.

Background and approach

That background means she has seen a wide range of family and workplace problems, from domestic violence and adoption concerns to immigration-related stress and unhealthy work environments that erode self-esteem. Her style is supportive and motivating. Sessions focus on listening without judgment, strengthening existing abilities, and working toward small, useful changes.

She does not use stigmatizing labels and aims to treat each person with respect and sensitivity. Patricia uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside a client-centered stance. That combination helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and shape conversations that fit their lives.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas and solution-focused tools when relationships or quick problem-solving are the priority. Parents and guardians will find practical help for parenting struggles, blended family issues, divorce and custody concerns, and adoption or foster care topics. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, bipolar challenges, ADHD, workplace issues, and compassion fatigue.

When starting, Patricia works with each person to tailor a plan. She encourages clients to name goals, try manageable steps, and build on their strengths over time.

How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own solutions, which is helpful for parents and individuals sorting out family decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes because it gives clear, practical steps to test between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the plan flexible and focused on what the family actually needs.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families. Video calls and phone sessions allow scheduled conversations without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, coaching moments, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and caregiving routines while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
