About Patricia
Patricia Wolfenden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around addictions, relationship concerns, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes. Patricia also addresses compassion fatigue and specific family-related subjects people often bring to therapy.
Patricia encourages people to speak about the patterns that still affect them from earlier family life. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels or long lectures.
Her work draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches shape how she helps people notice behavior patterns, manage strong feelings, and work on relationships and boundaries.
Patricia has spent decades supporting adults through difficult transitions - divorce, separation, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and recovery from substance use. She also helps with chronic illness or disability, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness work.
People who come for help usually leave with clearer options and doable steps to practice between sessions. To begin, someone interested follows the site's matching steps and schedules a first meeting to see how the fit feels.
Therapeutic approaches Patricia uses and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used when someone wants clearer direction despite anxiety, avoidance, or difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that maintain problems like depression or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people learn different ways of relating to close others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss these methods with the client and decide together what fits best for their goals and preferences. That collaboration guides session focus and practices to try between meetings.
The site notes how to begin but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it simpler to continue work on family-of-origin issues or relationship patterns while keeping sessions aligned with everyday routines.
