About Patricia

Patricia Whatley is a licensed clinical social worker who uses approachable, practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on day-to-day coping and helps people find ways to move forward when life feels overwhelming. Patricia draws on several evidence-based methods to shape sessions that fit each person.

She listens closely and helps identify small, useful changes that make daily life easier. Sessions often include learning new coping skills and practicing them between meetings.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and works with clients to test new ways of responding. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Practical problem solving and communication skills are also part of the work.

Patricia has five years of clinical experience in Georgia and holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, often written as LCSW, and CSW. That background informs how she plans treatment and guides conversations about goals and progress. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.

She helps people clarify values, set realistic steps, and track small wins. The aim is steady improvement, not quick fixes, so clients can build long-lasting skills.

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

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It teaches specific skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build practical coping strategies for problems like depression and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as needed. She works collaboratively so the chosen tools match the client's day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
