About Patti
Patti Mallow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family and parenting concerns, depression, and relationship struggles. Sessions focus on concrete changes and practical skills people can use at home.
Patti draws on client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people sort out thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. She also uses trauma-focused and narrative approaches when past events shape current reactions. That mix is used to address things like post-traumatic stress, sexual assault, domestic violence, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes agency work serving survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. She has provided both individual and group counseling in residential and outreach settings. Patti has also supervised counselors and student interns, and worked in program roles that involved foster care and residential support.
This experience informs practical, skills-based sessions about parenting, communication, boundaries, and managing strong emotions. Patti often helps people translate values into everyday actions and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Sessions aim for steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
People who book with Patti can expect direct conversation about what is and isn’t working in daily life. The focus is on what the client wants to change and on step-by-step ways to get there. Language for sessions is English and practice is based in New Mexico.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to speak and to clarify their own values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.Deciding which methods to use is collaborative. Patti will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust those choices over time as progress is tracked. The plan evolves based on what is helpful in real life.
Confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when meetings fit into their daily routine. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while focusing on concrete, manageable steps toward change.
