About Patricia

Patricia Brickman is a licensed mental health counselor with three years of clinical therapy experience. She is based in Washington and works primarily with adults. Patricia brings practical, straightforward support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes.

She trained at Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington, earning a Master’s in Counseling Psychology in 2018. Before providing outpatient therapy, she worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, residential eating-disorder treatment, and community-based intensive outpatient programs.

Background and approach

That range shaped her approach to complex mood and relationship concerns. Patricia uses Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help clients understand patterns that affect their relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, and self-critical thinking.

Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools. In session she keeps the tone direct but warm. She helps people notice old habits, try new ways of relating, and practice small changes between meetings.

Typical topics include self-esteem, body image, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and trauma recovery. Patricia works collaboratively on issues such as codependency, blended family stress, caregiver burnout, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people managing bipolar symptoms, eating and food-related struggles, and career or life-purpose questions.

Her work aims to make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.

Approaches Patricia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Attachment work and practical online therapy

Patricia draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people spot the relationship patterns that shape their reactions. This approach focuses on how early and current bonds influence trust, closeness, and conflict in adult relationships. It can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, codependency, or repeated relationship problems.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's experience and goals. This means sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and supporting their self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas are woven in to teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and self-critical thoughts.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Patricia will work with clients to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often combines elements from different approaches to create a plan that feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face over distance. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit quick sessions into a busy day. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
