Patricia Major, LCSW

Patricia Major is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She makes room for honest conversation and practical steps that can fit into a busy life. Patricia speaks plainly about goals and obstacles so parents and professionals can decide next steps with confidence.

Her work focuses on everyday problems like sleep troubles, low self-esteem, overwhelm, and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, anger, and compassion fatigue. Patricia pays attention to how attachment patterns and family roles shape current difficulties so people can make different choices going forward.

Patricia uses clear methods that encourage experiments and small habit changes. She brings cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy into sessions to help people notice thoughts, test unhelpful patterns, and act in line with their values. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional awareness.

Over a decade of practice has given her experience with parenting stress, blended family issues, caregiver strain, and life transitions like divorce or aging concerns. Patricia listens for the practical barriers that get in the way of change and helps people break problems into manageable steps.

Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. Patricia works with each person to set priorities, try new skills between sessions, and track what’s working. The approach emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

Patricia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people with anxious thoughts, mood struggles, and life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change how problems unfold. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take meaningful action even when emotions are uncomfortable.

Choosing the right approach is a conversation. Patricia collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in about what is or isn’t helpful and adjust the plan as work progresses to keep things practical and goal-directed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can be useful for short check-ins, coaching, or when a quieter option fits a schedule. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while still using the same therapeutic tools and homework between sessions.
