About Patricia

Patricia "Tricia" Conlon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of experience helping people through relationship strain, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She talks plainly and offers steady support for parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, addiction struggles, and career or self-esteem problems. Tricia also helps people facing grief, caregiver stress, and the long-term effects of chronic illness.

She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful stories and make room for new meanings.

Background and approach

Patricia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach coping tools that reduce avoidance and build more helpful habits. Attachment-based ideas guide work around connection and trust in close relationships. Her background includes clinical roles in oncology, integrative medicine, psychiatry, substance-use services, and dementia care.

Tricia has worked with first responders and high-performing professionals who face burnout, compassion fatigue, or crisis-related stress. She also has experience offering dementia-specific training to family caregivers and healthcare staff. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and steadier emotional responses.

Tricia balances direct skill-teaching with listening and curiosity about each person's life story. She invites clients to set goals and try doable changes between meetings. Tricia practices in Florida as an LMFT.

How Narrative and Action-Focused Therapies Work Online

Patricia combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change how they talk about painful events and to build workable habits. Narrative Therapy helps separate a person from their problem so they can see different possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches acceptance of difficult feelings while helping people commit to values-based actions that move them forward.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas when relationship patterns and trust are central concerns. Attachment work looks at how early and current connections shape reactions, and it can help people try new ways of relating in close relationships. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort - the therapist and client discuss goals, try options, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in, and text-based messaging makes it easier to share thoughts between meetings. These options make it simpler to get regular support without long commutes or rigid scheduling.
