About Patricia

Patricia Major is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She draws on a decade of experience to guide people through issues like communication difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, addiction concerns, and complications related to parenting or family roles.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses intimacy-related difficulties, sleep problems, anger management, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. Her style blends compassion and collaboration, inviting clients to explore patterns and strengths while building practical skills for day-to-day life.

Patricia integrates approaches such as Internal Family Systems, acceptance-based strategies, and attachment-focused work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. She has particular experience with caregiver stress, codependency, body image concerns, abandonment issues, and challenges that arise during divorce or blended family transitions.

Based in Oklahoma, Patricia uses evidence-informed methods to help clients increase resilience, improve relationships, and move toward goals that reflect their values. She supports clients who seek personal growth, clearer communication, and coping strategies for major life changes, offering a steady, nonjudgmental presence throughout the therapeutic process.

Integrating therapeutic approaches through online care

Patricia uses Internal Family Systems to help clients identify and relate to different internal parts with curiosity and care, which can be useful for navigating internal conflicts, shame, and patterns that affect relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another foundation of her work, teaching practical mindfulness and values-based actions to manage difficult thoughts and emotions and support purposeful behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her focus on how early relational patterns shape current connections and communication, helping people build more supported and satisfying relationships.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Patricia explores clients' goals, preferences, and life context to determine which methods or combination of methods feel most helpful, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses to align with changing needs.

Online therapy with Patricia offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and apply therapeutic tools in real-time between meetings.
