About Patricia
LMHC in Washington with three years of clinical therapy experience, Patricia Brickman focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, mood concerns, and trauma. She works with adults and brings experience from inpatient psychiatric care, residential eating disorder treatment, and community outpatient programs. Patricia uses several approaches including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).
Patricia helps people who are dealing with relationship struggles and intimacy-related issues. She supports those managing depression, bipolar mood changes, and anxiety symptoms. She also addresses eating and body-image concerns, addictions, grief, and parenting stressors including postpartum challenges.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington, earned in 2018. She has worked in diverse clinical settings that included inpatient psychiatric units and residential eating disorder programs. That experience informs how she recognizes crisis, stabilization needs, and when to coordinate care with other providers.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. Sessions focus on what is happening now, patterns that repeat, and practical skills for coping. She draws on DBT for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, CBT for changing unhelpful thinking, and EFT to look at feelings in close relationships.
Patricia pays attention to attachment patterns and family-of-origin dynamics when they affect current problems. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life-purpose questions. International clients can work with her and sessions are conducted in English.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns. In sessions this means identifying repeating interaction cycles and practicing new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. The therapist reflects what is said, helps organize thoughts, and supports the client's own goals for change. Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will review your needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate on whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT skills, or DBT strategies. That choice can shift as progress is made. Confirm the session formats before you book, because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as taking a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. They can also let clients use less bandwidth by choosing voice-only contact when that helps. Overall, remote work aims to make therapy more usable while the therapist and client decide together which methods to use and how to structure meetings.Sheet 3
