Patricia Pardy , LMHC, LCPC

Patricia Pardy is a New York based mental health professional with extensive experience helping people navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional difficulties. She holds credentials as an LMHC and an LCPC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and brings a client-focused, flexible approach to treatment that adapts to each person’s needs.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, parenting and blended family issues, relationship and communication problems, LGBT concerns, career and life-purpose questions, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also works with clients on topics such as BDSM and kink culture, caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness, among others.

Patricia integrates multiple therapeutic methods rather than relying on a single technique, combining client-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches and mindfulness-informed practices. She emphasizes creating a supportive, trusting environment where people can explore difficult topics, develop insight, and build effective coping skills. Those who have worked with her note a caring, empathetic style and a commitment to helping clients gain clarity and make meaningful progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia draws on client-centered therapy to place each person's experience at the center of treatment, offering empathetic listening and collaboration so clients can set their own goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia and the client will explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adapt methods in a collaborative way so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer ongoing support, teach practical skills, and track progress while providing flexibility and accessibility for clients.
