About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Woodson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 25 years of practice. She works with adults on common life stresses and relationship problems, and she lists family and parenting among her focus areas. Her work addresses anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and other concerns people bring when home life feels strained.
Trish draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify problems and try practical changes. Sessions tend to focus on specific steps someone can take between meetings. She also brings experience from school settings, community mental health, and private practice to sessions with adults who are managing parenting, blended family challenges, or adoption and foster care issues.
Conversations with Trish often include mapping everyday patterns and testing small changes. She helps people work through relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, and commitment questions with straightforward strategies. For grief, bereavement and cancer-related concerns she combines coping skills with focused problem-solving.
Her background includes work with children and adolescents in schools, but current descriptions emphasise work with adults around family problems, parenting strain, and family of origin issues. Trish also lists compassion fatigue, career shifts, and coping with life changes among the topics she addresses.
Trish practices in Virginia as an LPC and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. If you plan to book, confirm the current session formats before scheduling.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Trish uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often involve breaking problems into smaller parts and trying specific strategies to shift mood or reactions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and some relationship patterns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical goals and next steps. This approach zeroes in on what is already working and builds on small changes that can improve family interactions and parenting routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work with any therapist. Trish will discuss your goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit your situation. That process is collaborative, with adjustments made over time based on what helps most.
