Patricia Lord, LPC, LCPC

Patricia Lord approaches each person as an individual with a distinct story, offering empathy and practical support as clients navigate life’s challenges. She earned a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple and Family Counseling and holds a certification as a Play Therapist, training that supports her work with children through developmentally appropriate play techniques. Patricia works extensively with adolescents, teens, and young adults, and also brings experience across family systems and relationship transitions.

Her clinical background includes supporting people through divorce, co-parenting and step-parenting dynamics, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, domestic violence, and non-suicidal self-harming behaviors. She also addresses behavioral, adjustment, and attachment concerns, and has assisted teens with adjustment disorder, managing expectations, setting healthy boundaries, and mood-related issues. Patricia integrates several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered methods that prioritize the individual’s perspective, experiential techniques, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients identify and change unhelpful patterns.

Committed to the therapeutic process, Patricia partners with clients to clarify goals and build skills that foster greater satisfaction and joy across relationships and daily life. She emphasizes a collaborative, respectful approach tailored to each person’s needs and developmental stage.
