About Chiquita
Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, or life changes. She practices in North Carolina and relies on clear strategies to help people manage emotions and make steady progress.
She has 11 years of experience in counseling across settings such as psychiatric residential care, intensive in-home services, and outpatient programs for both children and adults. She also supervised a program serving young adults focused on employment, education, and health up to age 24.
Background and approach
Patterson helps with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and relationship challenges. She also supports people facing grief, career shifts, parenting strain, and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem. Anger is one of the areas she addresses directly in sessions.
Her style is relatable and interactive. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape conversations and practical exercises tailored to each person. Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than labels or long lectures.
She treats people with respect and aims to create a compassionate space for problem solving. If someone is ready to try coping strategies, behavior changes, or new routines, she works collaboratively to build a plan that fits their goals and daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Chiquita often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that worsen mood or anger. CBT focuses on concrete skills people can practice between sessions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction. Mindfulness exercises can help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to each person's goals and preferences, then try strategies and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative process helps tailor interventions to what actually fits in someone’s routine.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a short check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, written check-ins and ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to continue care while balancing busy schedules.
