About Patricia

Patricia Dye is a Florida LMHC with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting questions, and depression. She offers straightforward help when people are carrying guilt or shame related to relationships, family, faith, or past actions.

Patricia focuses on listening first and clarifying what matters most to each person. Sessions are a place to name difficult feelings, notice patterns, and test small changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical steps between meetings.

Her approach is direct and conversational. She helps people sort through thoughts that replay again and again, and examines how those thoughts shape everyday choices. She also supports parents who are trying to balance self-care with caregiving responsibilities and the guilt that can come with that role.

Patricia’s work includes attention to attachment and abandonment themes, dissociation, body image, and coping with chronic pain or illness. She also addresses relationship patterns such as codependency, commitment worries, and personality-related concerns when they affect daily life.

Sessions aim to be clear and goal-focused. Patricia encourages clients to try small, manageable experiments and to notice what changes. People are invited to use sessions to practice different ways of thinking and acting, and to recalibrate expectations that fuel shame or lingering guilt.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One approach she relies on helps people notice and change repetitive thought patterns that fuel shame and guilt. That method breaks down unhelpful thinking into smaller parts and tests different responses in everyday situations.

Another approach centers on attachment and relationship patterns. It looks at how early bonds or abandonment experiences shape expectations and reactions now, and it supports trying new ways of relating in present relationships.

Deciding which approach fits best is collaborative. Patricia works with clients to pick techniques based on current struggles, goals, and what feels useful in session. She checks in periodically and adjusts methods as needed so the work stays relevant.

The practical benefits of working online are similar to in-person therapy while fitting into daily life. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to help people maintain steady, consistent work on issues like shame, grief, and trauma.
