Patricia Adams , LMHC

Patricia Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a master's degree in counseling from the University of South Florida, earned in 2002, and a Florida LMHC license held since 2005. She brings extensive experience supporting children, families, and individuals across non-profit organizations, school settings, and private practice environments. Her clinical work spans trauma, self-esteem concerns, grief and loss, anxiety, major life transitions, parent-child relationship challenges, and related areas where people seek practical support and coping strategies.

Adams integrates a range of therapeutic methods tailored to each person's needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns, client-centered techniques that prioritize the client experience, solution-focused strategies to set achievable goals, and rational emotive behavior therapy to work on beliefs that drive emotional responses. These approaches are applied with attention to the unique history and strengths each client brings, including experience with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress.

She emphasizes that reaching out for help is a courageous first step and offers a supportive, nonjudgmental stance for those navigating healing or change. Patricia aims to collaborate with clients to clarify goals and develop practical steps forward, supporting them through the process of growth and recovery.
