About Chiquita
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience, based in North Carolina. Chiquita Patterson focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, and a range of other issues including ADHD and grief. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Chiquita has worked across residential and outpatient settings and has experience with programs that supported young adults with employment, education, and health needs. She has worked with people coping with emotional or physical abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, and a variety of mood and behavior concerns. That background informs how she structures sessions and follow-up planning.
Her style is straightforward and interactive. Sessions combine talking, practical skills, and short exercises that relate to daily life. Clients can expect focused goal-setting and steps to try between meetings, along with attention to how feelings and thoughts shape actions.
Chiquita draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify patterns that keep problems going. She uses mindfulness practices to help people manage distressing thoughts and reactions. Solution-focused work keeps sessions directed at small, usable changes and measurable progress.
She works with people on parenting challenges, blended family issues, commitment concerns, intimacy questions, sleep and eating problems, anger and self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder management, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and are provided within the therapist's North Carolina practice.

How her approaches translate to online work
Online sessions with Chiquita typically draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside solution-focused techniques. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete behavior changes to test new patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and many daily functioning problems. Mindfulness Therapy uses brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness; it can help with stress, sleep difficulties, and emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps conversations goal-directed and emphasizes small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, current challenges, and what has worked or not worked in the past. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize cognitive techniques, mindfulness practice, or brief problem-solving, and can shift over time based on progress and preference.
The booking process shows the session options available for appointments, so confirm formats before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday or work break, reduce the need to travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when useful. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talking, guided exercises, and homework assignments that fit daily life without requiring a long in-person visit.
