About Patricia

Patricia DeBor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She brings a calm, direct style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, career decisions, and major life changes. Patricia draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behavior. These approaches are mixed with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to build useful skills for everyday life.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens closely and asks straightforward questions to clarify what matters most. Conversations aim to identify small, realistic changes that add up over time. Homework or short practices are offered when helpful to reinforce what comes up during sessions.

Patricia has worked in independent practice, the military, and higher education. That variety shaped a practical approach to dealing with career stress, first responder concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and hospice or end-of-life topics. She also supports people coping with process addictions and effects of sexual assault and abuse.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. Patricia helps people set clear, achievable goals and track progress. The focus is on reducing what gets in the way and finding ways to move forward.

Online session options

Practical approaches for online support

Patricia uses Narrative Therapy to help people change the stories they tell about difficult events and current struggles. This approach can be useful for trauma, grief, and career crossroads because it separates the person from the problem and opens new ways of seeing their situation.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns shape emotions and behavior. That perspective can help when anxiety, jealousy, or work-related stress links back to how people relate to others. Client-Centered principles guide the tone of sessions, so conversations stay focused on the person’s priorities and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress emerges.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and face-to-face connection. Phone works well if bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Messaging and live chat allow shorter, more frequent touchpoints and flexibility around busy schedules.
