About Patricia

Patricia Marchman is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice helping people through hard times. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Patricia aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She works with people on trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and issues around intimacy. Patricia also supports those facing sleep problems, anger, attention challenges, and caregiving stress.

Background and approach

Her caseload includes those coping with chronic illness, career transitions, and the strain that comes from caregiving or first responder work. Patricia draws from several practical approaches in session. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening shape how she builds trust and explores relational patterns. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills.

Patricia works with each person to create a plan that fits their life and energy level. Many conversations include grounding tools, thought work, and concrete behavior changes to try between sessions. Patricia offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based sessions to suit different needs.

She provides care in English and practices from Illinois as an LCSW. If someone wants to begin, she guides them through scheduling and the initial matching process.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where direction and motivation feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and worry. This approach is practical and often includes exercises to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to choose methods that fit. She treats this as a collaboration and adjusts the plan as progress or new needs appear.

Online therapy can make getting support easier and more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or a camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options help schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health needs and make regular follow-up more practical.
