About Patricia
Patricia Gonzales is a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico with 16 years of professional experience. She uses a practical, person-focused style to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.
She begins by listening to a person's story and identifying strengths that can be built on. Sessions often focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Patricia uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in the client's goals. Patricia also draws on motivational interviewing to help where change feels stalled. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people rewrite troubling patterns and set small, achievable goals.
These tools are used to address issues such as parenting stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with hospice and end-of-life counseling and with veterans and armed forces issues, which informs a calm, steady approach. Patricia also has experience with ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, and postpartum depression, among other focus areas.
People who work with Patricia can expect clear language and practical steps. She encourages collaboration and keeps goals centered on each person's daily life and values.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the direction of work. Online sessions let the therapist follow your priorities and reflect back what matters most to you in a flexible way.Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. In video or phone sessions this can include practical exercises, homework, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.
Motivational interviewing is a short, focused way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change. It pairs well with online formats when someone wants support moving toward a clear goal, such as improving relationships or reducing avoidance.
Patricia will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change over time based on progress, goals, and what feels most useful during sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions if bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, or text-based messaging for ongoing support. These choices make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments while keeping therapy practical and goal oriented.
