About Patricia
Patricia Borrello-Monie uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 28 years of experience and works to make talking about hard things feel manageable. Her style is calm and straightforward so people can focus on next steps rather than getting stuck in worry.
She blends several approaches to fit the person in front of her instead of sticking to a single method.
How Patricia works
Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and simple tools to reduce worry and improve mood. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas show people how to notice thoughts without getting pulled into them. Patricia helps people facing life transitions, career strain, relationship challenges, and caregiver stress.
She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief after loss, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Work-related stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue are regular focus areas in her practice. Her work emphasizes clear communication and small, doable changes.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Cognitive behavioral strategies address unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. Sessions are offered in English and take into account each person’s goals and pace.
People start by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. From there they schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make room for valued actions. It focuses on what matters to the person and small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and panic. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s perspective and pacing, offering a nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, discussing what feels useful, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions fit real life.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten some check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in day-to-day situations and then talk about what happened in the next meeting. A licensed professional will help decide which approach and schedule will work best for the person's life and goals.
