About Patricia

Patricia Ringold is an LPCC who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or sudden life changes. She has spent 27 years helping people talk through hard moments and find practical ways forward. Her approach is respectful and direct. She aims to meet people where they are and tailor conversations to each person’s needs.

Patricia works with people facing trauma, abuse recovery, mood concerns, and social anxiety. She also supports those coping with loneliness, attachment concerns, and questions about life purpose. Panic disorder and panic attacks are included among the difficulties she has experience addressing.

Her background includes many years of professional coaching and executive coaching alongside clinical work. That mix means she often blends practical goal-setting with emotional processing. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps, skills to manage distress, and finding meaning after loss or change.

Patricia describes her style as sensitive and compassionate. She adapts the pace and plan so people feel understood and can try useful strategies without feeling rushed. She encourages small experiments and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits. She works as a licensed professional in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic methods and online care

Patricia describes her work as combining practical coaching with clinical support. Two common, evidence-based approaches she uses are goal-focused coaching and trauma-informed care. Goal-focused coaching breaks larger problems into small, manageable steps and helps people set and track realistic objectives for daily life. Trauma-informed care emphasizes safety and pacing as people address past hurts and learn how those experiences affect mood and relationships.

She also draws on emotion-focused strategies that help people name feelings, reduce intense reactions, and practice new responses to anxiety and panic. Those methods can be useful when panic attacks or social anxiety make everyday tasks harder. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, tolerance for change, and pace of progress.

If you are considering remote sessions, confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue momentum from coaching and therapy work while balancing work or family commitments.
