Patricia Wong, LCSW

Patricia Wong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping people facing addictions and related struggles. She keeps her approach direct when a situation calls for it, and calm and attentive when someone needs steady support. Patricia aims to help people find clearer thinking and practical steps forward so daily life feels more manageable.

She tailors each session to the person in front of her. Patricia blends solution-focused work with cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing. That means she helps clients name specific problems, notice patterns of thought and behavior, and try small, doable changes between meetings.

Patricia also uses emotionally-focused methods to help people understand and shift painful patterns that come from past hurt. She listens for how past experiences influence current relationships, mood, and choices, and she helps people build new responses to old triggers.

Many clients come because they feel stuck by anxiety, depression, grief, or addictive behaviors. Patricia also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, intimacy issues, questions about sexuality, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. She works in plain language and sets clear goals so progress is visible.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Patricia helps people set short-term goals while also addressing deeper patterns when clients are ready. Her style is respectful, straightforward, and focused on helping people move toward a more satisfying life.

How these approaches guide online work

Patricia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says so they feel heard and can find their own solutions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people test unhelpful thinking and try new actions to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build momentum by exploring ambivalence and strengths.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Patricia will work collaboratively to decide which approach fits a person's goals and preferences. She aims to set clear, short-term goals while also exploring deeper patterns when clients are ready, and she adjusts methods as progress develops.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a lunch break or between activities. Online sessions can also make it simpler to follow through on homework between meetings, since notes and tasks are easy to access and apply in day-to-day life.
