About Patricia
Patricia Maksoudian is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports those dealing with intimacy concerns, career stress, and major life changes.
Patricia draws on practical methods that focus on feelings, connection, and useful skills. She uses the Gottman Method alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy and trauma-focused techniques to help people understand what keeps them stuck.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are woven in to help manage intense emotions and stressful moments. Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens for patterns in communication and emotional responses, then suggests small, concrete steps to change those patterns.
Sessions aim to strengthen understanding and rebuild trust where it has been damaged. Patricia brings a long career working with veterans and women, and with people coping with attachment wounds, blended family issues, and infidelity. She understands how guilt, shame, and family-of-origin problems can shape current behavior, and she helps clients name those influences.
Clients can expect a steady, empathetic presence and clear guidance on practical skills for daily life. The work often focuses on repairing connection, processing trauma, and building routines that reduce stress and support well-being.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Patricia often uses the Gottman Method to focus on communication patterns and practical exercises that rebuild understanding between people. Gottman-informed work emphasizes specific behaviors to practice and scripted conversations that improve day-to-day interaction.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which centers on identifying core emotions and changing interaction cycles that keep people distant or reactive. EFT helps people feel their emotions more clearly and respond in ways that strengthen connections.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Patricia will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Sessions may shift approaches over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for exercises that involve noticing facial expression and tone. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are handy for quick reflections, between-session support, or when writing helps process feelings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules.
