About Patricia
Patricia Duff-Fleming is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career shifts, and coping with life changes. Patricia names life purpose among the concerns she helps people address.
She centers conversations on what matters most to each person. Patricia treats clients as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths that can be put to use. Sessions are practical and grounded, focusing on what someone can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and values-based choices. Patricia also uses attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused techniques when relationship patterns and closeness are part of the work. She explains options plainly and collaborates on a plan that fits day-to-day life.
Patricia has supported people through grief, end-of-life concerns, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and the complicated feelings that follow separation or loss. She also helps with issues linked to abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and isolation. Her experience includes long-term community practice in Florida.
People who are unsure what comes next after a job change, breakup, health event, or retirement often bring questions about purpose and direction. Patricia encourages realistic next steps and focuses on decisions someone can test and adjust over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values to guide action. It is useful when someone wants clearer direction after a big life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. It is practical for coping skills and reducing distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness and can help when relationship difficulties or worry about abandonment are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss these methods with the person and decide together which strategies fit their goals and everyday life. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as needed.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and avoids travel time, which can help people keep momentum between sessions.
