About Patricia

Patricia Wolfenden is a licensed mental health counselor and marriage and family therapist in Florida. She brings 25 years of clinical experience to sessions and helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, grief, trauma, anxiety, and major life changes. She works with each person as the expert of their own story.

Patricia uses clear, straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to a client and what gets in the way. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between appointments as well as the ideas they bring into the room.

Background and approach

Her approach draws from existential ideas about meaning and choice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build flexible responses to difficult thoughts, and Attachment-Based perspectives that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used when helpful to change unhelpful thought and behavior cycles.

Patricia also supports people dealing with complicated family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family challenges, chronic pain or illness, and the impact of first responder work. She pays attention to how stress, anger, and compassion fatigue affect daily life and decision making. Patricia aims for a respectful, down-to-earth tone in sessions.

She encourages small experiments in coping, clearer communication, and steps toward goals clients set. She holds Florida LMHC and Florida LMFT credentials and works in English.

Online support

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck or who are facing big life questions to clarify what matters and how they want to move forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, addiction, and coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns learned in early relationships and how those patterns affect current relationships and emotion regulation. It can be useful when communication and trust are recurring problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques to try based on the client's goals and preferences. That conversation can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues during deeper conversations, phone sessions can fit a break from work or require less bandwidth, and messaging supports short check-ins and ongoing tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care that fits daily life.
