About Patricia
Patricia Klepinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of LPC experience plus eight years as a school counselor. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Patricia uses a mix of practical, conversational methods to help people talk through what feels stuck. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps to change unhelpful patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and make workable choices.
Her work includes client-centered listening to understand each person's story and Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements when relationships and attachment are part of the concern. Solution-focused strategies are used to identify immediate next steps and track progress. Trauma-focused methods are brought in when past harm affects daily life.
Patricia aims to balance feeling understood with practical tools people can use between sessions. She explains ideas in simple terms and checks in about what is and isn't helpful. Her background in schools informs a calm, structured style that many find direct and approachable.
People who come with guilt or shame often explore how those feelings show up now and where they began. Patricia helps name patterns, practice different responses, and plan manageable actions to reduce the burden of those emotions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and choose actions tied to what matters to them. It can be useful for guilt, shame, and life changes when values guide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep distress going and practicing alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood changes, and self-critical thinking.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person feels understood while deciding what to try next. Those elements are woven into sessions alongside solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. This is collaborative rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Discussing format and timing during the initial scheduling step helps make sessions fit everyday life.
