About Patricia
Patricia Wornum is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life purpose. Patricia helps people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health. She supports those managing trauma, coping with life changes, or facing compassion fatigue.
Patricia’s approach is straightforward. She creates a calm space for people to talk through what is happening now. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Conversations look at habits, thoughts, and small changes that make daily life easier.
Her background includes a Master of Arts and an LMHC credential. Over a decade she has worked with people dealing with addiction, domestic violence impacts, adoption and foster care issues, and mood or panic-related problems. This work has included supporting people through pregnancy and childbirth transitions and midlife shifts.
In session she listens for what matters most to each person. That information guides pacing and priorities. Topics often include communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust after trauma.
People who come for help around career changes or life purpose will find a focus on practical next steps. Patricia also supports coping strategies for panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and substance use concerns. She works in English and sees clients in Massachusetts.
Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at influencing thoughts and behaviors. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence; this helps reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another technique emphasizes structured coping skills and behavioral changes to manage cravings and reduce relapse risk for people dealing with addiction. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will review what a person wants to change and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may involve adjusting pace, trying different exercises, and tracking small wins to see what helps most. Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help someone maintain momentum while navigating career shifts, parenting demands, or recovery from trauma.Areas of expertise
