About Patricia

Patricia Brickman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She began practicing as a therapist in 2018 after completing a Master of Counseling Psychology at Northwest University, and has three years of direct therapy experience. Patricia’s background includes work in inpatient psychiatric care, residential eating disorder treatment, and community outpatient programs.

She commonly sees adults in the 18–35 age range and focuses on practical, day-to-day concerns. Patricia uses a client-centered approach and leans on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people connect with their feelings and relationships.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas when they fit a person’s goals. Sessions emphasize understanding emotions, building coping skills, and trying small changes that make life easier. People contact Patricia for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, body image and eating issues, grief, trauma, parenting stress, and career questions.

She also supports those facing addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas include attachment issues, blended family stress, codependency, and life-purpose questions. Therapy with Patricia tends to be straightforward and collaborative.

She aims to help clients notice patterns, practice new responses, and strengthen emotional connections. In sessions she listens, asks clarifying questions, and offers practical tools to try between meetings. Her style suits someone who wants a clear plan and gentle challenge.

Online support

How specific approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with feelings that shape relationships and self-worth. Online sessions can help people name hard emotions, revise interaction patterns, and improve emotional connection over time.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and stress responses. In teletherapy, this work helps clients notice attachment patterns, practice new ways of relating, and test these changes in everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and following the client's pace. That approach makes it easier to explore concerns in whatever online format feels most comfortable, whether talking live or using text-based messaging for check-ins.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Patricia will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about how tools are working and shifts strategies as progress or challenges appear.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can support mood tracking, quick coaching, or interim support between sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
