About Patricia

Patricia Wolfenden is a licensed clinician in Florida who centers her work on attachment and relationships. She brings 25 years of clinical experience and aims to help people feel steadier when life becomes hard. Patricia speaks plainly and focuses on real changes people can notice between sessions.

Her approach begins with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often include talking about patterns in close relationships and learning practical ways to respond differently when stress or strong feelings arise.

Background and approach

Patricia blends several therapy styles to meet the needs in the room. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect present relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients name values, notice difficult thoughts, and take small steps toward meaningful goals.

Many people come for help with addiction, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. Patricia also supports those managing chronic illness, fertility concerns, family of origin issues, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence. She works with stress, anger, low self-esteem, career difficulty, and compassion fatigue as well.

Patricia holds Florida licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Sessions are offered in English and are available through several online formats for people across Florida who prefer remote care.

Online support

Attachment work and practical therapy online

Patricia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationship patterns and emotional reactions. This approach helps people notice recurring ways they relate to others and try new, healthier responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her practice; it focuses on clarifying what matters to a person, accepting difficult thoughts, and taking small actions toward chosen values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete skills to change behavior and mood.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Patricia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so work in therapy lines up with real life priorities.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit therapy into busy days - a video call for deeper conversation, a phone session when bandwidth is limited, a short live chat check-in between appointments, or text messaging for quick support. The variety makes it easier to stay connected to care while juggling family, work, and other responsibilities.
