About Patricia
Patricia Maksoudian is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 26 years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, stress, anxiety, anger, career questions, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Patricia also addresses attachment issues, blended family issues, commitment concerns, communication problems, and family of origin matters.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical conversations. Patricia uses methods that help people notice patterns, improve communication, and process strong emotions. Sessions look at what is happening now and how past experiences shape reactions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused approaches to guide that work.
Patricia often supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the aftermath of infidelity or military-related trauma. She also works with women who face relationship strain and seasonal mood changes. The work tends to involve identifying triggers, practicing new responses, and strengthening emotional connection where that is relevant.
Her background combines long clinical practice with experience supporting veterans and people from varied backgrounds. She describes her perspective as informed by Christian values when that is meaningful to a client, and she maintains a professional approach to ethical practice. Patricia conducts therapy in English and works from Indiana.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional bonds between people. It helps identify patterns of interaction and the emotions under those patterns so clients can respond differently and feel more connected where relationship work is relevant.The Gottman Method emphasizes practical communication skills and manageable exercises. It addresses conflict patterns, rebuilding trust after breaches, and improving everyday interactions between partners or in relationship roles.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process includes checking what feels useful and adjusting as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time.
