About Patricia
Patricia Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, strength-based support and works with parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Patricia writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.
Patricia uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage overwhelming feelings and day-to-day challenges. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance-based skills to reduce struggling with difficult emotions.
Background and approach
She also includes attachment-informed perspectives to improve how people relate to others. Sessions aim to build skills that fit daily life. Patricia helps people set concrete goals, try small experiments, and practice new ways of coping between visits.
Many clients work on sleep, panic, stress management, or making sense of past hurts. Parents can expect support for common parenting strains, postpartum mood concerns, and communication problems that affect family life. Patricia also works with people dealing with career stress, caregiver burden, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Her style is warm and direct. She encourages self-compassion while teaching tools for change. Patricia invites collaboration and makes a practical plan together with each person.

Practical approaches for online parenting and stress work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so parents and individuals can move toward what matters despite hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. It is useful for changing day-to-day patterns that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust strategies if something feels off or isn't helping as expected.
Online care can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let you talk face to face from home when bandwidth and a quiet spot are available. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging offer ongoing support between sessions and allow tracking progress in writing. These options provide flexibility for parents balancing work, childcare, and other demands.
