About Patricia
Patricia (Trisha) Blackburn is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and depression. Trisha encourages straightforward conversations and helps clients notice strengths they already have.
Her approach centers on listening without judgment and following what the client brings to the session. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's perspective and priorities. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily signals during stressful moments.
Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, practicing mindful awareness, and trying small steps that fit day-to-day life. Trisha keeps language plain and practical so people can use what they learn between meetings. She emphasizes short, workable strategies for reducing worry and managing low mood.
Her background across two decades includes work with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, such as sleep and eating problems, relationship and communication issues, caregiving stress, and career or money worries. Trisha also supports people coping with trauma, caregiving and aging-related challenges.
People who prefer a collaborative, steady approach may find her style helpful. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients choose which techniques to try next. To begin, clients are invited to follow the site's steps to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and building sessions around their priorities. Online that means the therapist follows what the client brings and helps set goals that fit daily life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts, breath, and body sensations to reduce reactivity; online sessions often include brief guided exercises clients can practice at home or during breaks.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods to try first based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That collaborative decision making continues as progress or challenges appear.
The site asks you to confirm session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when schedules are tight. If you prefer specific session arrangements, confirm the available formats and scheduling details during the sign-up steps.
