About Pattra

Pattra Dodd is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people work through complex emotional challenges. She focuses on supporting individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and significant life transitions, and brings particular experience working with older adults, veterans, and young professionals.

Pattra approaches therapy with empathy and clinical skill, paying close attention to each person’s unique story. She has worked extensively with communication difficulties, social anxiety, isolation, and self-esteem concerns, and helps clients develop practical strategies to cope and grow. Her style emphasizes understanding the whole person while identifying strengths that support change.

Therapy with Pattra is collaborative and person-centered. She partners with clients to set goals, build resilience, and explore new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her aim is to create a supportive environment where people can deepen self-understanding, work toward healing, and make sustainable, positive life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Pattra Dodd integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals guide the work - it’s useful for increasing self-awareness and building motivation for change. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT teaches practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pattra collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts techniques over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Pattra offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so therapy can fit into a busy schedule or be accessed from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to use therapeutic tools between sessions with support from licensed professionals and therapists.
