About Patricia
Patricia Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self esteem struggles. Her work also includes support around career shifts, parenting questions, and life changes.
She uses a practical, person-centered style. Patricia listens first, then helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She draws from cognitive behavioral tools to challenge negative thinking and from emotionally focused and attachment ideas to improve connections with others.
Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps. Patricia emphasizes values and what matters most to each person. She also uses mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior approaches to manage intense feelings and build tolerance for distress.
Patricia has 15 years of experience in social services and mental health work. She earned a Master of Social Work in 2011 from the University of Washington School of Social Work and has spent the last five years in independent practice alongside prior roles serving people with a range of needs.
She works collaboratively with other professionals when helpful, such as psychiatrists or primary care providers. People who want practical change and more clarity about their goals often find her straightforward and supportive approach a good fit.
