About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Bell is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
She offers straightforward work in sessions. Conversations focus on what feels stuck and what changes someone wants to make. Dr.
Bell aims to teach tools people can use between meetings to reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. Her background includes a Doctor of Psychology in Counseling and long experience applying cognitive approaches to mood and behavior.
Background and approach
She often blends cognitive techniques with emotion-focused and acceptance-based ideas to meet each person where they are. Dr. Bell has supported people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, body image and eating concerns, and identity-related issues such as LGBT concerns.
She also addresses stressors tied to caregiving, chronic illness, career shifts, and parenting challenges. In sessions she uses practical exercises, skill-building, and collaborative problem solving. The goal is to replace unhelpful thinking patterns and reactive habits with strategies that fit daily life.
Clients work on clear, measurable steps and learn ways to respond differently when anger or anxiety arise.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems like depression and anger going. It emphasizes practical exercises and homework to build new skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and skill work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people stay connected between sessions and get brief coaching or check-ins without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
