About Patricia
Patricia Karl is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted by long-standing patterns. Patricia is direct yet compassionate and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She also uses EMDR and psychodynamic perspectives when trauma or attachment wounds are present.
Patricia emphasizes collaboration in sessions. She helps clients identify repeating patterns, trace where those patterns began, and build concrete skills to respond differently. This can include tools for managing anxiety, handling grief, or coping with big life changes.
She often addresses issues that overlap, such as addiction and mood concerns alongside relationship and intimacy struggles.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding together so clients feel heard and can make choices that fit their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is often used when past traumatic memories continue to cause distress and can help reduce the power those memories hold.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try first. That may mean combining elements from different approaches to match a client's needs and pace.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice, process difficult memories, and support day-to-day coping through remote sessions when those formats are offered.
