About Patricia
Patricia Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family challenges, depression, and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on five years of formal counseling experience alongside long-term work supporting families in stressful situations. She focuses on practical conversations that help people manage strong emotions.
Sessions are supportive and motivating. Patricia avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas. That means she listens first, then helps clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior they want to change. She tailors discussions and plans to each person's needs and goals.
Patricia has experience with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, and complex family issues such as adoption, foster care, blended family dynamics, divorce, and custody-related stress. She also helps with workplace struggles, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. Parents and young adults will find concrete support for handling parenting strain, separation, and relationship conflicts.
She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when a short-term plan or a boost in motivation is helpful. Patricia aims to work collaboratively so clients can build on their strengths. She invites people to begin by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their calendar.

Approach-driven care delivered online
Patricia often blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused ideas. Client-centered therapy means she starts by listening carefully and following the client's lead to identify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-focused elements focus on understanding feelings and improving how people express needs in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try a few techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match methods to each person's story and priorities.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into busy days or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or when typing feels easier. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, school, and family life.
