Patricia (Trish) Woodson, LPC

Patricia (Trish) Woodson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 25 years of experience. She began counseling in 2001 and has worked in clinics, private practice, and school settings. Trish focuses on helping people cope with life changes and the stresses they bring.

Her style is warm, accepting, and encouraging. She uses straightforward methods that help people set goals and try small, practical steps between sessions. Sessions often focus on managing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse concerns.

Trish has spent years supporting parents and caregivers, and she is familiar with blended family dynamics and adoption and foster care matters. She also addresses issues like ADHD, anger, intimacy-related problems, and body image in everyday terms rather than complicated jargon.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and find workable solutions. That work is paired with a client-centered attitude that values each person’s pace and priorities.

Over her career she has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families in different settings, and she keeps up with current trends and resources. People who want practical strategies and steady support often find her approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Trish uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in simple, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, achievable steps and building on what is already working to move toward clear goals.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Trish will work with each person to identify which approach fits their needs and goals, and she adapts techniques as progress is made. The plan evolves from the client's priorities and feedback.

Session logistics and formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows practical homework and tools to be shared between sessions so people can practice new skills in daily life.
