About Patricia
Patricia Manning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses attachment-based work to help people feel safer in relationships and more steady in themselves. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and questions about life purpose. Patricia writes plainly and meets people where they are.
She draws on 11 years of counseling experience and earlier work with children and families in foster care, residential settings, and shelters. That background informs how she notices patterns that start in early relationships and carry into adult life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make those patterns easier to understand and change. Patricia blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills work from dialectical behavior therapy. When trauma is involved she may include EMDR-informed techniques alongside gentle emotion regulation strategies.
The pace and focus are set together with each person. In the room she pays attention to both feelings and daily life - how stress, parenting demands, work, or loss show up week to week. She helps people build clearer boundaries, manage anger, address attachment worries, and find steadier ways to cope with change.
Her style is direct but caring. She will challenge unhelpful choices while supporting new learning. People who want straightforward guidance paired with a warm, experienced clinician may find this approach useful.

Online support
How attachment and skill-based approaches work online
Patricia often combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding your perspective, and shaping goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust what she does based on what helps. The plan is shaped together rather than imposed, so you can test skills and approaches at a comfortable pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling fit into busy lives. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins or practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to keep a regular schedule, fit sessions around work or parenting, and maintain momentum toward your goals.
