About Patricia
Patricia Lord is an LPC and LCPC with 10 years of clinical experience based in Kansas. She works primarily with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, trauma and grief. She also addresses eating and self-esteem issues and helps young adults navigate life changes.
Patricia’s work is straightforward and practical. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
She has substantial experience supporting people through divorce, co-parenting and stepparent dynamics, and the behavior and attachment issues that can follow family change. With adolescents and young adults she has worked on non-suicidal self-harm, adjustment difficulties, depression, anxiety, and setting healthy boundaries.
In sessions she helps people talk through upsetting events, practice new ways of responding, and set short-term goals. Mindfulness approaches are used to teach ways to handle strong emotions as they arise. CBT techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to shift mood and stress.
Parents are supported with practical strategies for parenting, co-parenting, and managing expectations. Patricia also addresses concerns such as codependency, control issues, forgiveness, infidelity, and postpartum depression. Her style is focused on clear goals and step-by-step progress.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping the client set the agenda for each session. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort out feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test new behaviors and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity to strong emotions. These practices can help with grief, trauma responses, and everyday stress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Patricia will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust strategies based on what is working. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to use and how to pace the work.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using worksheets, in-session exercises, and mindfulness practices during appointments.
