Patricia Hernandez , LPC

Patricia Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on creating a calm, respectful space for each person who reaches out.

She works with individuals to identify practical steps that reduce daily stress and restore a sense of control. Conversations are direct and grounded, with an emphasis on creating small, manageable changes. Patricia tailors sessions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Patricia has five years of counseling experience in community and private practice settings. That time includes work supporting people dealing with abandonment, body image worries, caregiver stress, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from separation or divorce. She also has experience with trauma related to domestic violence and disaster, and with concerns common to first responders and military veterans.

Her approach favors compassion and clear structure. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills so people can feel steadier in day-to-day life. She also addresses deeper feelings like guilt, shame, and grief when those come up.

All sessions are provided online by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Patricia aims to make the first steps easy: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits your life.

Evidence-based care delivered online

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting them toward clearer, more balanced thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes building concrete coping skills and routines to manage stress and increase daily stability, which can be helpful for grief, trauma recovery, and overwhelming stress.

Finding the right method is a shared process. Patricia will discuss options and try approaches that match your goals, needs, and preferences, adapting as you make progress. She works collaboratively so you can see what feels useful and what might need to change.

All work is offered online by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth fluctuates, and chat or text are good for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint fits your day. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to keep contact between sessions when helpful.
