01About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Woodson is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Virginia.

Trish aims to help people find practical steps forward and regain a sense of control in everyday life.
Her background includes work in community mental health clinics, school settings, and independent practice. That range gives her experience with many different situations and life stages.
Background and approach
She has particular experience with parenting issues, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder concerns. In sessions she tends to be warm, accepting, and encouraging. Trish draws on solution-focused methods to help people set goals and find immediate, doable changes.
She also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify patterns of thinking and try new behaviors when old ones cause pain. People come to her for help with relationship problems, intimacy and commitment concerns, career stress, overwhelming anger, or coping after loss.
She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, body image struggles, or the emotional impact of medical issues like cancer.

She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps, so clients leave sessions with specific ideas to try between meetings.

04Online support
Online approaches that focus on change and goals
Trish uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, then test small changes to improve mood and daily functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, worry, and low self-esteem.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what is already working and build on those strengths. This approach is brief and goal oriented, which can help with relationship problems, career decisions, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Trish will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or short goal-focused work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and maintain momentum while working toward change.
