About Patricia
Patricia Pardy is a Mental Health Counselor licensed in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, family and parenting challenges, grief, depression, anger, and relationship issues. Patricia also addresses identity and sexual culture topics and helps people facing life changes and career questions.
She uses a mix of practical therapies to match what a person needs. Sessions focus on clear tools for coping, improving communication, and managing intense emotions. Patricia draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills that can reduce reactivity and help with everyday functioning.
Parents and adults struggling with blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, or family-of-origin problems will find practical problem-solving discussed in sessions. The work can include talking through boundaries, sorting patterns that repeat in relationships, and developing better ways to handle conflict and control issues.
Patricia also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and related emotional responses such as guilt, shame, or impulsivity. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the client's goals, for example to increase awareness or strengthen motivation for change.
She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Conversations are aimed at concrete changes and clearer choices. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Patricia applies therapeutic approaches online
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to change behavior and mood. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress. DBT emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It helps when reactions feel overwhelming or relationships keep getting stuck.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy when the aim is to listen and reflect what matters to a person. That approach makes room for a client to set the pace while skills-based methods are added when needed. Choosing the right mix is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which approaches fit the client's goals and preferences.
