Patricia Uhan

Patricia Uhan is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what brought someone to therapy. Patricia brings four years of clinical experience and focuses on meeting each person where they are. She has worked in community mental health settings with survivors of sexual abuse and assault, and with people managing PTSD, substance use, and complex mental health needs. That work gave her practical experience supporting people through trauma and the effects it can have on daily life. Patricia says culture and personal identity matter in care. She blends approaches to match a person’s needs instead of using one fixed method. This can mean drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns, or client-centered listening to build trust. Her style is warm and empathetic, with an emphasis on clear goals and usable skills. She focuses on what a person wants to change and on small, concrete steps to get there. Sessions typically combine talking, problem-solving, and practice of new ways to respond. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist may find her approach helpful. Patricia is licensed as an LPC and as an LMHC and practices in Missouri. She offers therapy in English and works with concerns related to trauma and other emotional challenges.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm affects current reactions and routines, and helps people develop new ways to feel safer and more in control. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values to move life forward. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships to help people build more reliable ways of connecting and relating.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's history, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted along the way based on what helps most in everyday life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people meet with a licensed professional from different locations while keeping work focused on practical skills, emotional processing, and building healthier routines.
