About Chiquita
Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family stress, trauma, and addiction. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and offers support for parenting and intimacy-related problems.
Patterson has experience across residential, intensive in-home, and outpatient settings. That includes work with adults and programs supporting young adults up to age 24 around employment, education, and health. She has supported people who have experienced physical trauma, emotional abuse, and sexual assault, and she has worked with clients facing OCD and ADHD challenges.
Her style is straightforward and interactive. Sessions involve talking through problems, identifying patterns, and trying practical steps to change them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide short-term skills and longer-term coping strategies.
When blended household issues come up she helps individuals sort roles, routines, and boundaries. She also addresses co-parenting dynamics, loyalty conflicts, and commitment concerns as they affect daily life. Conversations typically focus on clear communication, small behavior changes, and problem-solving.
Practical matters like sleeping, eating, work stress, and parenting strain are discussed alongside emotional concerns. Chiquita asks about goals and suggests techniques that can be practiced between sessions. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s scheduling path and complete a brief matching questionnaire before the first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Chiquita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and practical problems such as sleep or routines. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their reactions and build simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. She discusses goals and preferences and then suggests techniques to try. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together as needed.
Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed on the profile. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists can use video for face-to-face conversation or offer audio when camera time is difficult; discuss format needs during the scheduling step so session arrangements match daily life and caregiving routines.
