About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Bell is a licensed mental health counselor with a Doctor of Psychology and 15 years of clinical experience. She centers her work on Cognitive therapy while drawing on related methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Dr. Bell emphasizes practical steps clients can use between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Clients meet a therapist who favors clear skill-building and straightforward conversation. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. She blends tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful to address emotion regulation and values-based action.
Her background includes a long span of work across age ranges and life stages. That experience informs how she approaches issues such as parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and major life transitions. She also addresses concerns related to trauma, grief, body image, and sexual orientation with attention to each person’s context.
Dr. Bell uses a collaborative style that asks what matters most to each person and builds small, achievable steps toward those goals. Clients who want help with career stress, ADHD-related challenges, or coping after loss will find concrete strategies and supportive problem solving. She encourages people to treat therapy as a skill-learning process rather than a single event.

How Dr. Bell’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Dr. Bell combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas to guide online sessions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT encourages noticing what matters most and taking committed steps toward those values, helpful for coping with life changes and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based approaches pay attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative planning helps make online sessions feel purposeful and tailored.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people work from familiar surroundings and focus on skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavior experiments to an online setting so therapy remains active and practical.
