About Patricia
Patricia Johnson-Haney is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She brings seven years of experience helping people navigate addictions, trauma, grief, depression, and LGBTQ concerns. Patricia centers the person in each session and treats clients as the experts on their own stories.
Her approach starts by listening and building on what is already working for the client. She focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions. Patricia emphasizes strengths and small changes that add up over time.
Patricia has worked with people facing a wide range of challenges, including mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, body image, blended family issues, and the emotional fallout of divorce or domestic violence. She can help people who are coping with natural or human-caused disasters find strategies to manage distress.
Therapeutic methods Patricia uses include client-centered work, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused therapy. She draws from these approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize practical skills, clear goals, and collaboration.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Patricia aims to make it more manageable. She offers support without judgment and helps people identify immediate next steps toward improved well-being.
Using proven approaches in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, values their perspective, and works to build on existing strengths to move toward their goals.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with mood instability, panic, and emotional reactions that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to prioritize based on their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. This is a team effort with regular check-ins about progress and adjustments as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also be helpful when someone needs to work through trauma, grief, or addiction-related challenges without rearranging their day.
