About Patricia
Patricia Gordon is a Washington state LICSW with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, intimacy issues, and blended family issues.
Patricia uses practical, evidence-informed methods. She focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real life. Sessions include skills practice and simple mindfulness exercises to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her style is direct and client-centered. She listens for values and goals, then helps set small, doable steps toward change. People who want clear tools and steady feedback tend to do well with this approach.
Patricia draws on Attachment-Based work and Emotionally-Focused approaches when relationships and attachment patterns matter. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when intense feelings come up.
She trained at the University of Washington School of Social Work and has worked across social services and private practice. That background informs practical planning and coordination with other providers when needed. To begin, clients complete a short intake questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape reactions to closeness and conflict. It helps when patterns of trust, distance, or fear repeat in adult partnerships and blended household roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to test new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress from co-parenting or loyalty conflicts.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and respond to strong emotions in relationship contexts. It can be useful when attachment concerns or recurring arguments create distance in a new household.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try interventions, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative process means therapies can be mixed to fit your needs and the problems you bring.

Online work can make appointments easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-in sessions when needed. It also makes it simpler to include practical homework and in-the-moment skill practice between meetings.
