Patricia Palmer , LPC

Patricia Palmer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She brings 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Patricia emphasizes practical steps clients can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.

Patricia takes a strengths-focused approach. Sessions aim to identify what already works for a person and build on those skills. She offers straightforward tools for coping with overwhelm, panic, and difficult thoughts.

Her background includes work across several settings with a range of concerns. That variety informs how she tailors sessions to fit different situations, from parenting strain to career stress and relationship difficulty. Patricia uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to match each client’s needs.

In session she prioritizes clear communication and practical exercises. Conversations include problem-solving, skill practice, and ways to shift unhelpful thinking. Clients can expect a calm, encouraging presence aimed at realistic progress.

Patricia also addresses trauma-related and perinatal concerns such as postpartum depression and pregnancy-related stress. She supports people dealing with abandonment, guilt, isolation, and issues around self-worth.

People seeking help with ADHD, panic attacks, or major life changes often find focus on daily routines and emotion regulation useful. Patricia helps clients set achievable goals and develops plans they can use between sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, values-based actions despite difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction after big changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing new ways of responding. It often helps with panic, social anxiety, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. Together they’ll try methods, see what fits, and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easy between longer sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care when schedules, childcare, or work make in-person visits difficult.
