She practices from South Carolina and focuses on helping people build confidence and find motivation.

Background and approach
Her work includes coaching-style conversations for people looking to clarify goals and next steps. Her style is client-centered. She creates a calm space for people to say what they think and feel without fear of judgment.
Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on what matters most to each person in the moment. Patsy draws on decades of practical experience to help clients identify small changes they can try between sessions. She often works on improving communication, rebuilding self-esteem, and finding purpose after big life changes.
Progress is shaped around the client's priorities and pace. She describes the first step as an act of courage and aims to make scheduling and beginning therapy simple. People who want to explore personal growth, career direction, or parenting questions may find her approach direct and supportive.

How Patsy Uses Client-Centered Methods Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what the person says. The therapist helps people clarify their own goals and choices rather than directing them. This approach works well for concerns like low self-esteem, stress, grief, and figuring out career direction.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Patsy will work with each person to identify what feels helpful and adjust the style as needs and goals change. That collaboration helps shape goals, pacing, and practical steps between sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are suited to in-depth conversations and visual contact. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can work well for shorter check-ins, brief problem-solving, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work days, parenting schedules, or when travel is difficult.
