About Patricia
Patricia Brickman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She has three years of clinical therapy experience and a background in inpatient psychiatric settings, residential eating disorder care, and community outpatient programs. Patricia works mainly with adults and focuses on everyday struggles that can feel overwhelming.
Her style is conversational and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people set small, clear goals. Sessions often include talking through emotions, learning skills to manage intense feelings, and practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Patricia draws on several approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses the Gottman Method for relationship work, attachment-based ideas to understand closeness and trust, and cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Her past work includes inpatient psychiatric units, intensive outpatient programs, and residential eating disorder treatment. That variety informs how she supports people through crises as well as slower, long-term change. She often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, body image, and grief.
Patricia earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington, in 2018. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, and she accepts international clients. The focus is on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Patricia often uses the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are the focus, helping people identify interaction habits and build healthier ways of relating. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to examine how early bonds shape current trust and closeness, which can help when people feel stuck in repeating cycles with others. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work grounded in the persons experience, offering empathetic listening and collaboration to set goals and pace the work.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Patricia will work together with each person to choose which methods suit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process means techniques may be mixed or adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, live chat gives a quick real-time check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
