About Patricia
Patricia Tingler-Baker is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and depression. She supports those facing life changes and workplace strain, and she also addresses caregiver stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and issues around guilt, forgiveness, and isolation.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them and try out new ways of coping. Sessions are framed around practical steps people can use day to day, as well as exploring deeper questions about purpose and values.
Patricia uses a mix of well-known methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening to tailor work to each person. She brings skills from dialectical behavior strategies and existential ideas when those fit the client’s goals. The emphasis is on what helps the individual move toward a more satisfying life.
Clients can expect a collaborative style. The therapist listens, reflects, and offers tools to try between meetings. She guides people through small, manageable changes rather than pushing a single rigid plan.
Patricia is licensed as an LCSW and practices from Ohio. Her background across multiple states informs a flexible, down-to-earth style that focuses on real-world problems and realistic steps forward.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and moving through life changes by focusing on values and small committed actions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping strategies that people can practice between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the person feels heard and understood. This approach supports people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult feelings and make decisions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then shape a plan together. That collaborative process helps identify which methods to try first and what to adjust over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused on everyday improvements.
