About Patricia
Patricia Manning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses EMDR alongside other therapies to help people recover from trauma and manage overwhelming emotions. She frames therapy around relationships and practical skills, and she aims to make therapy feel calm and straightforward. Patricia draws on eleven years of counseling experience.
She has worked in child protection, foster care, residential treatment, psychiatric settings, and shelters. That background shapes how she thinks about attachment, trauma, adoption and family challenges.
Background and approach
Her approach is client-centered and attachment-focused. Sessions often include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. EMDR is used as one option for processing distressing memories and trauma symptoms.
Parents and caregivers may find her helpful for parenting stress, blended family concerns, caregiver burnout, and attachment issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship problems, intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Patricia keeps language plain and practical in sessions.
She likes to teach concrete coping skills, practice them together, and talk about how those skills fit daily life. She also challenges patterns that get in the way of goals while honoring each person’s pace and values.

Online support
How therapy approaches like EMDR and CBT work online
Patricia commonly blends EMDR with attachment-based and client-centered approaches. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories through guided bilateral stimulation and can help people with trauma and abuse symptoms. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and helps people understand how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the client’s pace to set meaningful goals.Choosing which method to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That plan can change as progress unfolds, and sessions include skill practice and regular check-ins about what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Messaging and live chat can support brief skills practice between sessions or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use therapy tools in real time.
