Patricia Palmer, LPC

Patricia Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She uses a strengths-focused approach to help people face anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Patricia aims to help clients find ways to create more balance and a sense of purpose in everyday life.

Patricia draws on methods from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take action toward what matters. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships and past bonds shape current patterns. Sessions emphasize practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who meet with Patricia often work on stress, depression, self-esteem, midlife questions, parenting challenges, and career concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, panic, postpartum struggles, and ADHD-related difficulties. The tone in sessions is supportive and goal-oriented, with attention to what clients can try between meetings.

Patricia encourages clients to name small, achievable steps. She will help you build coping skills for strong emotions and practice new ways to relate to others. The work includes talking through problems, tracking patterns, and rehearsing different behaviors.

Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling from Siena Heights University and a range of settings across her career. Patricia aims to help people move forward with more courage, clearer priorities, and practical tools for daily life.

Approaches that shape online work

Patricia uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves tracking patterns, testing new actions, and practicing skills to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action despite difficult feelings. ACT helps people stop fighting painful thoughts and start moving toward what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, comfort level, and day-to-day demands. Clients and therapist review what’s working and adjust the plan together.

Confirm the therapist’s current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins on difficult days. It can also support continued progress when life events make in-person meetings harder to arrange.
