About Patricia
Patricia Whatley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with five years of clinical experience. She helps people managing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Patricia also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She uses clear, practical conversation in sessions. Patricia draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep people anxious or stuck. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies and mindfulness to help people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them.
Patricia values straightforward skill building. She teaches coping techniques for high-stress moments and daily routines that support mood and confidence. Sessions often include breathing or grounding practices, thought records, and steps to test new behaviors outside therapy.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Patricia asks about what matters to the client and sets small, achievable goals. She pays attention to shame, guilt, communication difficulties, and questions about life purpose or self-love when they come up.
Patricia works in English and practices in Georgia. People who want to learn more are encouraged to follow the booking steps on the profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her methods translate to online work
Patricia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that fit online sessions. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help when avoidance or worry stops someone from doing things that matter. CBT breaks down anxious thoughts and behaviors into steps and then practices new responses, which can be useful for social anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Patricia will talk with clients about their goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that looks at what works in day-to-day life and what feels realistic to practice between sessions.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy week. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and practice skills in real-world settings soon after a session. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. The focus is on making sessions match daily routines and goals rather than on a single defined format.
