About Patricia
Patricia Johnson-Haney is a licensed clinical social worker who centers sessions on each person’s experience. She emphasizes listening first and following the client’s lead. She talks with people about challenges like depression, grief, trauma, and addictions, including concerns around panic disorder and panic attacks.
Patricia uses a client-centered way of working, which means she builds on a person’s strengths and priorities. She also brings techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when someone needs skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or making a change.
In practice she keeps sessions straightforward. She helps people name what feels hard and then tries small, practical steps to shift daily life. That might mean learning short grounding strategies, practicing communication moves, or setting manageable goals for change.
Her background includes seven years of professional experience and a Wisconsin LCSW credential. She has supported people facing a wide range of issues such as substance use, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and caregiving stress.
Patricia aims to make the first step easier by pairing respect with concrete tools. She invites people to talk about what matters most and to co-create a plan that fits their life.
Approaches that guide online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. It helps when someone wants a therapist who reflects their experience and builds on what is already working. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for managing strong emotions and staying grounded when panic or intense stress arises. These skills are useful for mood disorders and panic-related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be helpful for addictions or shifting patterns that have become stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, daily life, and what feels doable. She adapts tools and pacing so clients can try options and adjust as they learn what helps.
