About Patricia
Patricia "Tricia" Conlon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Background and approach
Tricia also supports those dealing with life changes, stress, career concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Her work is practical and down-to-earth.
Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new ways to cope, and improving communication. She draws on approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild connection.
Tricia’s background includes clinical roles in healthcare settings and nonprofit agencies. She has worked in oncology, integrative medicine, psychiatry, substance abuse, and dementia services.
She also taught virtual courses for the College of Health Sciences and Nursing at the University of Phoenix for ten years. She brings experience supporting first responders and high-achieving professionals through crisis and grief.
She has training in crisis intervention and dementia-specific education for caregivers and healthcare staff. This mix of clinical and teaching work shapes a calm, informed approach to challenging problems.
In sessions she uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral tools, emotion-focused methods, and acceptance-based practices. Conversations often involve skill building, tracking patterns, and practicing new ways to respond.
Tricia aims to help people feel more capable, connected, and able to move forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment needs to improve closeness and reduce conflict in relationships. It is often used for couples and intimacy-related struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or more frequent contact between appointments, which can help maintain steady progress.
