About Patricia
Patricia Tingler-Baker is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She helps clients build confidence and cope with life changes. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, workplace pressures, and money and financial issues.
Patricia aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. She encourages small changes that add up over time and respects each person’s pace.
Her style blends listening with clear tools. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered and dialectical methods to validate feelings while building coping skills.
Patricia holds LCSW credentials in Kentucky and Tennessee and practices in Ohio. Her background spans two decades of clinical work, and she brings that experience to everyday concerns. She tries to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.
People who come for help can expect a collaborative process. The focus is on what matters to the client - whether that means reducing anxiety, addressing substance use, repairing self-esteem, or working through financial stress. Patricia supports each person as they take steps toward a more manageable life.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people commit to small, meaningful steps even when uncomfortable feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns that lead to distress and teaches practical strategies to change reactions and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help people clarify goals and feel understood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist can adjust methods as they learn what works best together.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit care into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it simpler to meet when a quieter location is available. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic techniques used in face-to-face work, while tailoring exercises and homework to an online setting.
