About Patricia
Patricia Uhan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience in Missouri. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Patricia also helps people dealing with attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and related challenges.
Her background includes work in community mental health settings. There she supported survivors of sexual abuse or assault and gained experience with PTSD, substance use concerns, and personality-related difficulties. She has also worked with people living with severe and persistent mental illness and dual diagnoses in diverse communities.
Patricia uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-focused work to look at relationship patterns that affect mood and self-worth.
Sessions use client-centered and dialectical strategies to build practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas show up when helping people clarify what matters and take values-based action. She adjusts techniques based on what a person brings to the room.
Her style is focused on practical support and cultural context. Patricia pays attention to how identity and life circumstances shape coping. She asks questions, listens to what matters, and works with clients to try different strategies until they find what helps.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can help when someone feels lost after a job change, relationship shift, or health setback because it centers on what matters next rather than on fixed outcomes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current behavior. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way to closeness, loss, or instability, and it can reduce repeating patterns that leave someone feeling empty or disconnected.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, life situation, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking whether it helps, and adjusting over time rather than committing to one way from the start.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let a person choose whether to be on video or use less bandwidth when that helps with concentration or scheduling.
