Patricia Gordon is a Washington State licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of clinical experience supporting adults, couples, and families through a wide range of life challenges. She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington School of Social Work, earned in 2011, and has spent the past five years in private practice after a long career in social services.
Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and family conflicts, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, LGBT issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue. Patricia works with individuals and couples to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more realistic, healthier perspectives.
Patricia favors a client-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused approach. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based practices, trauma-focused methods, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy to help clients build practical skills and make meaningful change.
In sessions she aims to offer a respectful, authentic, and affirming environment where clients are treated as the experts of their own lives. Patricia also collaborates with multidisciplinary teams, including psychiatrists, primary care providers, and social service agencies, to coordinate care when needed.
For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. This makes virtual care a viable option for people seeking support for everyday mental health and relationship issues.
One major advantage of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Each participating therapist is a licensed professional, and clients may switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy can therefore offer both professional care and the adaptability many people need to engage in consistent treatment.
