About Patricia
Patricia Uhan is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and trauma. She presents a calm, empathetic presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Patricia aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow for someone new to therapy.
Patricia blends several approaches to fit each person's situation. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She incorporates attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships affect current patterns and close connections.
Background and approach
Her work has included community mental health settings where she supported people after sexual abuse or assault. That experience included supporting people with PTSD, substance concerns, and overlapping mental health conditions. She has also worked with people living with severe and persistent mental illness and dual diagnosis, which shaped her practical approach to care.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes. Patricia aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce the intensity of strong emotions like anger. She pays attention to cultural identity and how it influences a person's experience.
Patricia holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She practices in Missouri and offers a straightforward, person-focused style for people ready to work on immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions like anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that fuel stress and replacing them with practical behavior experiments and coping skills. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people form more helpful ways of relating and regulating emotions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and useful for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing short exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical skill building and emotional regulation.
