About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Frueh is a Michigan psychologist (MI Psychologist 6301008874) with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who bring concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, and problems with sleep and eating. Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for people located in Michigan; international clients are not accepted.
Patricia draws on several well-known therapeutic approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and mindfulness practices to help people live with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear in her work for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Her background includes many years helping people cope with trauma, mood disorders, panic, grief, and family-of-origin or blended-family issues. She also addresses concerns tied to identity, including LGBT-related stress, and autism or Asperger syndrome when these are relevant to a client's life.
Patricia mentions using elements drawn from humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives alongside solution-focused work. That means sessions can include shorter goal-oriented conversations as well as deeper reflection about personal history when useful. She is a Certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher and integrates mindfulness practices when helpful.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking concrete steps toward those values even when emotions are hard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then try different, more effective ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep and eating problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful reactions. Mindfulness skills, which Patricia teaches as a Certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher, are often part of that work to increase moment-to-moment awareness.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to appear on camera for every meeting. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
