About Patricia
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 40 years of experience. Patricia Meneghini helps people cope with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She works from the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths that can be used to address current struggles.
Patricia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what is happening now, identifies patterns that cause trouble, and helps people try different ways of responding. She frames change as a series of small steps. People learn skills they can use between sessions.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. Patricia asks about goals, priorities, and real-life limits, then works with clients to set manageable targets. She encourages people to build on their existing resources rather than starting from scratch. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so adjustments can be made.
Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, addiction cycles, and mood concerns. She uses structured conversation and practical exercises to reduce intense feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions can include planning for triggers and practicing replacement behaviors.
After four decades in the field, Patricia brings steady experience to common problems like relationship conflicts and recurrent mood dips. Her style is matter-of-fact and focused on what can be changed now. For details about formats and scheduling, confirm the current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and what to expect from online sessions
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and mood concerns. For trauma and abuse she focuses on stabilizing strong emotions, identifying triggers, and practicing grounded responses that reduce reactivity in daily life. For addictions she helps people recognize patterns that maintain the behavior, develop coping strategies, and plan alternatives to old habits. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Patricia will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the person says works or does not work. She emphasizes shared decision making so the plan fits the client’s needs and limits. Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people also find it helpful to practice skills in their usual environments and then talk through what happened in the next session. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you arrange a first appointment.Sheet 3
