My name is Patricia Hernandez, M.Ed., LPC, CSTIP, MBIP. I am fully licensed as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 3 years of experience helping adults, teens, elderly, children, and families in crisis anywhere in the state of Texas (Ah … the wonderful power of teletherapy!). Most of my life has been spent in Texas, which includes my master’s level counselor training from Sul Ross State University in Uvalde, Texas. I embarked on this journey to provide services to working people of all genders who’ve had trouble fitting in attention to their mental health because of their busy schedules. Virtual therapy allows me to do just that! It offers consistency because it fits the comfort of your home, car, or local park. So, snow, wind, or rain won’t stop us now! All sessions are virtual and I highly recommend you bring along your fur baby, blanket, and favorite beverage to the session.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our initial sessions, we will start with brief introductions, discuss issues specific to your situation and challenges you’re facing, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing your needs in a way that helps you get your life back on track. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Most clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and experience sustained improvements after.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have developed a genuine passion for helping people who seem to be stuck in a particular place and can’t find how to move to the next level. Compassion, and being non-judgmental are my driving force.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with young adults and older people who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, having irrational or negative thoughts, or people who are experiencing some kind of trauma, or are grieving the loss of someone or something. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious about moving forward, and many times don’t see how to move forward.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

This treatment method is used when there are negative or irrational thoughts that don't seem to go away.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

This treatment method is all about showing compassion, which allows for acceptance and commitment to come through within the self.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

This treatment method allows you to stay in the present, and feel what is happening and how it is happening in the now.

From the beginning, Ms. Hernandez creates a warm, friendly and safe environment. She listens carefully and closely to what you are saying. She seems insightful beyond her years, like an old friend over a cup of coffee. Just amazing to talk to! A real jewel in a hectic world!

Patricia offered solutions in approachable and visual ways that seem achievable. She provided honesty and challenged ways of thinking, which I definitely need.

I have never done therapy, let alone was not really convinced about doing it online, but Patricia changed that. Since day one I could just feel the warm and compassion she offered. She made it possible for me to open up almost immediately and this is something most of us on here struggle with. Not with her though, if you are looking for someone, she is a definitely a good choice!
