About Patti
Patti Mallow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 12 years of experience. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship issues, and the strains that come from work and life changes. Patti lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and often addresses those feelings alongside family and self-esteem concerns.
Patti uses straightforward, person-centered work. She listens first, then helps people name what they are feeling and what they want to change. Typical sessions include talking through what is happening now, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing different ways to respond to difficult thoughts and memories.
Her background includes long-term work in agencies that served survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. That experience includes individual and group counseling, residential care, outreach programs, and supervising other counselors and interns. She also has experience in a group foster care setting and as a program director, which shaped her practical approach to helping people manage parenting and daily demands.
Patti draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to help people reframe their stories and build small steps that move life forward. Trauma-focused approaches are part of her work when past harm affects current wellbeing.
People meet with her to work on clear goals such as improving communication, handling workplace stress, coping with loss, or addressing painful feelings tied to family and past events. To begin, clients follow the provider's intake steps to connect and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own answers. In practice that means the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies what matters most, and helps set concrete goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches simple tools to test and change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process the effects of past harm and reduce the ways those memories shape current reactions, using careful pacing and practical grounding techniques.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That process is part of early sessions rather than a one-time decision.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the currently offered options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, permit shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also allows therapists to share worksheets or exercises during and between meetings to practice skills in daily life.
