About Patricia

Patricia Uhan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses issues connected to attachment, adoption and foster care, and blended family concerns.

Patricia has experience in community mental health settings. She has worked with people who survived sexual assault and with those facing PTSD, substance use concerns, and co-occurring diagnoses. She has also supported people living with severe and persistent mental illness in diverse communities.

Her approach adapts to what brought a person to therapy. She uses practical, evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-focused work to address relational patterns and values-based choices.

Sessions are conversational and aimed at clear steps a person can try between meetings. Patricia pays attention to cultural identity and how it shapes feelings and relationships. She helps clients name what's difficult and practice new ways of coping.

For people in stepfamily or blended household situations, she can help talk through co-parenting stress, loyalty conflicts, and merging routines. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying a person's values and practicing small steps that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and communication, useful for attachment issues and relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, often used for anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. Patricia will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and focused on achievable steps.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by shortening check-ins, avoiding travel time, or allowing sessions during a break at work. It can also let people try different ways of working, such as more skills practice or values-focused exercises, without changing the overall treatment plan.
