About Patricia

Patricia Montanari is a licensed mental health counselor who uses Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies to help people make sense of hard problems. She brings 16 years of experience and a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions. Patricia is based in Florida and works in English.

Her approach blends exploration of inner meaning with hands-on strategies. Clients can expect work on thoughts and behaviors, plus space to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and life.

Background and approach

Common topics she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and coping with big life changes. Patricia has broad clinical experience in community settings, home-based work, and group therapy. That background shaped her comfort working with complex concerns such as personality disorders, co-occurring substance issues, and trauma related problems.

She also supports people facing parenting challenges, bipolar mood swings, and ADHD-related struggles. In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered listening. The aim is to match practical steps with deeper understanding so clients gain coping tools and insight.

Work can include talking, skills practice, and identifying life patterns. Outside of therapy she values family time, travel, swimming, music, and reading. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance and carries the credentials LMHC and LPCC.

Her mission is to provide a relaxed, supportive atmosphere while helping people find clearer ways forward.

Online support

Approach and options for online therapy

Patricia combines Jungian-informed exploration with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support emotional work and practical change. Jungian-informed work looks at recurring life patterns and inner symbolic themes to help people understand why they repeat certain behaviors or feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning new coping moves.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and connection styles. That work can help people improve communication, rebuild trust, and reduce reactivity in close relationships. The therapist and client decide together which approaches fit the person’s goals and preferences, so treatment stays collaborative and tailored to real needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while trying different ways of working together.
