Patti Mallow, LPC, LPCC - Therapist in New Mexico

About Patti

Patti Mallow offers straightforward, practical support for people dealing with family stress and parenting concerns. She aims to build a trusting relationship first, then helps clients talk through immediate problems and figure out workable steps. Sessions are paced to each person’s needs, with clear tools and real-world strategies rather than jargon.

Patti is based in New Mexico and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC.

Background and approach

Patti has 12 years of experience, much of it in agencies focused on domestic violence and sexual assault. That background shapes a trauma-informed approach to common concerns such as anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Patti uses methods like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

In practice she listens first, helps name patterns, and teaches simple skills to shift thinking and behavior. She also draws on group counseling and supervisory experience to offer structured, practical work. Her prior roles include work on a group foster care ranch, serving as a discipleship counselor, and directing programs at a domestic violence and sexual assault agency.

Those experiences inform her focus on parenting, values, boundaries, and putting new skills into everyday life. Patti aims to meet clients where they are and help them move toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more manageable daily routines.

Approaches and how online therapy fits family work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach supports people who need a calm space to talk about parenting and family stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It teaches simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Patti will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those goals. Sessions can adjust over time based on what helps most, and the therapist will explain options in clear language.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face work, while live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into real life and to practice new skills when they are needed most.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
