About Patricia
LMFT in Indiana with 26 years of experience, Patricia Maksoudian focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, stress, anxiety, anger, career shifts, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, mindfulness, and trauma-focused approaches in her work. Sessions are conducted in English and her practice maintains Indiana licensure: MI LMFT and IN LMFT.
Patricia presents straightforward, practical help for people facing hard emotional moments. She talks through communication problems, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and the effects of past wounds. She also addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. The first conversations clarify immediate concerns and what a person wants from therapy.
Her methods combine relationship-focused work and trauma-informed techniques. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method shape her work on couples and relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused strategies are used to manage symptoms and process difficult memories.
Patricia notes a Christian-informed perspective influences how she approaches topics like forgiveness and moral conflict. That perspective is offered alongside clinical methods rather than replacing them. She works with veterans and people affected by armed forces experiences as part of her trauma and family focus.
Clients can expect a collaborative process: clarifying problems, setting practical goals, and using concrete exercises in and between sessions. Scheduling begins through the site's matching flow and a short questionnaire to plan an initial visit.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

The Gottman Method uses structured exercises to improve communication and rebuild trust between partners. It gives concrete skills for handling fights and managing intimacy.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses based on what works for the person or couple.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows the use of in-session exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and mindfulness practices in ways that match a client's day-to-day life. Licensed professionals adapt techniques so sessions remain practical and focused on the client’s goals.
