Patricia Lewis , ACA, PACFA

Patricia Lewis is an ACA and PACFA credentialed counsellor with nine years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family conflict, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Patricia offers sessions in English and Spanish and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Patricia believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that small changes build momentum. She listens for strengths and practical options. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help manage anxious thoughts and reduce overwhelming feelings. Narrative ideas help people reframe painful events and discover different meanings. She also draws on existential themes to support work about purpose and values.

Patricia has worked with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, divorce and family of origin issues. She supports those coping with codependency, workplace strain, control issues and the aftermath of abuse. She also helps people exploring self-love, forgiveness and questions about life direction.

Clients who prefer to discuss their concerns through a Christian lens can request that perspective. Patricia aims for collaborative, respectful work and helps clients identify practical coping strategies suited to everyday life.

How Patricia uses therapy approaches online

Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behaviour changes. This approach suits people managing anxiety, stress or low mood who want practical steps to test between sessions.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises. Mindfulness can reduce reactivity and help people feel steadier when emotions spike. Narrative therapy is used to look at life stories and open up different ways of understanding difficult events and identities.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you work out which methods to try and review progress as you go.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions suit quieter audio-only check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can fit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments.
