About Patricia
Patricia Lehr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of experience offering therapy in California. She draws on long years in independent practice, schools, juvenile courts, and community health settings. Patricia approaches sessions with calm and practical attention, helping people clarify problems and set realistic steps forward.
She works with common stresses like anxiety, depression, grief, and caregiver strain. Parenting concerns, anger, self esteem, workplace stress, and life transitions are areas she often addresses. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship and family of origin issues, and the challenges that come with aging.
Her style blends Client-Centered Therapy with solution-focused and motivational strategies. That means conversations start from the client’s experience and move toward clear, achievable goals. Patricia listens for strengths and then helps people try small changes that build confidence over time.
Patricia trained with a Master of Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis and holds a Masters of Education from the University of Texas at San Antonio. She has practiced in multiple settings and across age groups, which shaped a flexible approach to different life stages.
Sessions aim to build practical tools for handling stress, managing anger, and improving self esteem. Patricia emphasizes learning as you go, so clients leave with concrete skills alongside a clearer sense of direction.
