About Patricia

Patricia Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction. Patricia also supports those facing parenting strain, career questions, and major life changes.

She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Patricia listens first, then helps clients name the patterns that cause pain. She uses tools from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered approaches to build clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas are woven into sessions when they fit. Patricia draws on 15 years in social services and clinical work. Her background includes community agencies and independent practice, plus collaboration with psychiatrists and primary care providers.

That mix informs how she helps people manage persistent symptoms and everyday struggles alike. Her style is direct, respectful, and strengths-focused. She treats the person as the expert in their life while offering concrete skills for coping and decision making.

Sessions aim to shift unhelpful thoughts, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen close relationships. Patricia works with adults and couples to set clear goals and move toward them. She also addresses issues tied to aging, blended family dynamics, non-monogamous relationships, obsessive thinking, and seasonal mood changes.

Her approach centers on practical steps that fit each person's life.

Online support

Attachment, CBT, and emotion work online

Attachment-based work helps people spot patterns in close relationships and understand how early bonds shape current reactions; it supports those who want more supported, connected relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify, name, and change the emotional responses that keep them stuck in painful cycles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and practical needs. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full sessions and relationship work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
