Chiquita Patterson, LPC, LCMHC

Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 11 years of direct counseling experience and a down-to-earth style to sessions. She focuses on stress and anxiety alongside a broad range of concerns, and she aims to help people take practical steps toward feeling better.

Her background includes work in psychiatric residential settings, Intensive In Home Services, and outpatient programs for both children and adults. She also supervised a program supporting young adults up to age 24 with employment, education, and health-related goals. That variety shaped a flexible approach to common life struggles.

In the room she uses cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions are interactive and practical, with an emphasis on respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. She avoids stigmatizing labels and tailors plans to what each person needs.

Chiquita has experience helping people with depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, ADHD, OCD, and trauma from physical or emotional abuse. She also works with concerns like grief, addiction, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. Her aim is to support people as they make steady progress toward clearer goals.

She speaks English and works from North Carolina. If someone is ready to begin, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist's availability.

Chiquita encourages taking small, manageable steps and offers practical tools and compassionate guidance along the way.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Chiquita uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-informed ideas along with solution-focused techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, useful for worry and emotional overwhelm. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on finding immediate, practical steps and building on what already works, so goals feel manageable and progress is clear.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. The aim is to work together to pick techniques that fit your life and help you reach short-term and longer-term goals.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find online sessions let them use tools and exercises between meetings, making progress feel more continuous.
