Patricia Wong , LCSW

Patricia Wong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She adapts her approach to each person's unique presentation, offering active, direct guidance when needed and quiet, reverent support when a gentler presence is more helpful. Her practice emphasizes practical solutions grounded in compassion and respect, helping people stabilize when life feels overwhelming.

Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, Patricia uses a solution-focused framework to identify symptoms and create concrete steps forward. She works collaboratively with clients to address patterns that stem from neglect, abuse, trauma, or other difficult past experiences, and to lessen the impact of painful memories or persistent anxious thoughts.

Patricia assists people navigating a wide range of concerns, including addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, family and parenting challenges, grief, anger, self-esteem and career struggles, bipolar disorder and depression, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. She also offers additional focus on polyamory, non-monogamous relationships, and sexuality. Patricia is accepting new clients and aims to help individuals create a healthier, more fulfilling present and future.

Approach-Focused Care Available Online

Patricia integrates several proven approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's experience and priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative method that helps increase motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal reasons for taking action.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. Patricia uses these formats to deliver focused, practical care that supports progress across a range of issues.
