About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Woodson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and family concerns. Trish also addresses ADHD, self-esteem, anger, intimacy issues, and life transitions.
She has worked in community mental health, private practice, and school settings. That variety means she has supported people facing parenting and blended-family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and grief related to illness or loss. She has experience with issues that arise from family of origin patterns and how those patterns affect adult life.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside a client-centered stance. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Solution-Focused work looks for practical, short-term steps that move a person toward the changes they want.
Trish aims to be straightforward and encouraging while helping people sort through specific problems. She helps set goals, try small experiments between sessions, and check what is working. That practical focus is useful for coping with career stress, relationship conflict, parenting strain, or major life changes.
She sees clients in Virginia and works in English. If someone wants to begin, they select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
CBT and Solution-Focused work for remote sessions
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going, then try different responses to those thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns that trace back to family of origin issues.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps and build on what already helps. That approach is practical and goal-oriented, useful when someone wants quick, concrete strategies for specific problems like parenting challenges or career stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trish will discuss options and collaborate on which methods suit a person's goals, preferences, and life situation. That means trying an approach and adjusting it based on what helps.
If you are interested in remote sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions fit better with work, caregiving, or school commitments without changing the focus of the therapy.
