Patricia Gillett

Patricia Gillett is a licensed clinical social worker with over 18 years of experience helping people through tough life moments. She practices in Arizona and focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship strain, and self-esteem challenges. Patricia uses a compassionate, patient-centered style to guide each session.

She draws on several approaches to shape treatment. Mindfulness Therapy is part of her work, offering simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions are strong.

Sessions are tailored to the person in front of her. Patricia emphasizes clear steps, small experiments, and skills you can use between meetings. She also brings humanistic and strength-based ideas to help people build on what already works for them.

Patricia commonly addresses issues like trauma and abuse, parenting strain, ADHD, grief and loss, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and codependency.

Her tone is warm and patient. She aims to help people feel heard, practice new responses, and gain tools for everyday life. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How mindfulness and practical skills translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts, body sensations, and breath. It teaches short practices that can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions even when feelings are difficult; it suits life transitions, grief, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces experiments and tools to test new responses to mood, sleep, and worry.

Choosing the best approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your needs. Together you can adjust the mix of mindfulness, ACT, or CBT based on what helps most in weekly work and between-session practice.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling during workdays, shorter check-ins when needed, and using sessions to practice skills in the places you live your life. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for keeping therapy consistent while juggling family, work, and appointments.
