About Patricia
Patricia Gonzales is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or low self esteem. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and treats each story as unique. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and practices in New Mexico.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She meets clients where they are and helps them find practical steps forward. Sessions often focus on coping skills for stress, anger, sleeping problems, or changing life circumstances.
Patricia draws on several approaches to shape therapy. She uses client-centered work to listen closely and follow a person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of behaving. Solution-focused and narrative tools help people highlight strengths and rewrite parts of their story that keep them stuck.
She also has experience with concerns that can appear alongside mood symptoms, such as ADHD, panic, obsessive thoughts, jealousy, and issues around intimacy or infidelity. Patricia has supported people facing end-of-life and hospice concerns and those dealing with compassion fatigue.
People who come for help often want clearer patterns and small, manageable changes. Patricia offers a calm, practical approach aimed at building confidence and self-love over time. She encourages clients to take the next step when they feel ready and supports them through the process.
