About Patricia

Patricia Manning is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or changes at home and work. Patricia focuses on practical steps that help people manage daily life and regain a sense of direction.

She draws on Narrative ideas to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Patricia also uses attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to build trust and understanding in sessions.

Background and approach

She brings tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches to teach coping skills and emotion regulation. Patricia’s background includes many roles supporting children, adolescents, and adults in child protection, foster care, residential treatment, psychiatric hospitals, alternative schools, and shelters for people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. That history shaped her interest in trauma, attachment, and adoption-related concerns.

In sessions she listens closely, helps people name patterns, and introduces simple, evidence-informed techniques to try between meetings. She balances encouragement with direct feedback when choices get in the way of goals. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and better day-to-day functioning.

Patricia practices in Oregon as an SC LPC and OR LPC. She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. People who want a thoughtful, experienced counselor for trauma recovery and life changes may find her approach helpful.

Online session options

Approaches that guide online care

Patricia uses Narrative ideas to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their difficulties. That work can make problems feel less fixed and open new ways to move forward, especially with identity, life purpose, and family history concerns.

She also draws on attachment-based methods that focus on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect feelings today. This helps when intimacy, parenting, caregiver stress, or relationship patterns are the primary concern. In addition, she uses client-centered techniques to create a respectful, collaborative space where a person’s experience leads the work.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Patricia will talk with the person about goals, current struggles, and preferred ways of working. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those choices as progress is made.

Online sessions can fit different needs and schedules. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversational work. Phone sessions or live chat are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to balance therapy with work, parenting, and daily life.
