About Patricia

Patricia Gillett is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 18 years of experience in Arizona. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, relationship problems, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and depression. Her work centers on meeting people where they are and creating practical steps forward.

Patricia approaches therapy with calm patience and a focus on the person's strengths. Sessions are led by the client's goals and paced to what feels manageable. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and listens for the practical changes that will improve day-to-day life.

Her background blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, client-centered principles, and mindfulness-based techniques. She also draws on dialectical skills and acceptance work to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Treatment plans are individualized so each person gets an approach that fits their needs.

In the room Patricia helps people set small, realistic goals and build skills they can use between sessions. She offers coaching-style guidance for motivation and problem solving when that is helpful. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that. She aims to create a respectful, patient space where people can explore change and gain more control over their lives.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into concrete steps. It teaches skills for managing mood, sleep, and anxious or avoidant responses. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of feelings, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing to what each person needs, so the work feels relevant and doable.

Because the exact session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can schedule around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises effectively over distance, focusing on skills practice, homework, and progress toward practical goals.
