About Patricia
LCSW in Virginia with 30 years of clinical experience, Patricia Frost focuses on issues such as self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma and bipolar concerns. She practices client-centered work and uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches among other methods. Patricia speaks English and sees people in Virginia.
Patricia frames sessions around the person in front of her. She listens for what matters most, then helps people break problems into smaller steps. She uses client-centered therapy to follow a person's concerns, cognitive behavioral techniques to map thinking and behavior patterns, and mindfulness practices to strengthen focus and emotional regulation.
Over three decades she has helped people with panic attacks, social anxiety, and seasonal mood shifts. She also addresses communication and control issues, isolation and questions about life purpose. Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and work with trauma and post-traumatic stress.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical skills. Patricia uses motivational interviewing to support change and DBT strategies for distress tolerance and emotion regulation when those tools fit. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at observable steps people can use between sessions.
Her way of working suits people who want a mix of listening and active skill-building. Patricia asks about daily routines and patterns, then helps create small experiments to test new ways of coping. To start, prospective clients follow the listed intake steps to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects concerns back, and adjusts the pace and focus to the client’s needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when intense feelings interfere with daily life.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what has worked before and suggests small experiments to try between sessions so the fit can be checked and changed as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistent appointments while they practice skills and track progress between meetings.
