Getting to know Christa Patterson

I am a licensed mental health clinician with Empower Psychotherapy, bringing over 10 years of experience to the behavioral health field. Throughout my career, I have supported clients across all levels of care, from residential treatment and detox to PHP, IOP, and outpatient therapy. While I have held leadership roles as a Clinical Director, my true passion lies in the one-on-one work that happens in the therapy room. As a telehealth therapist based in Florida, I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use. Whether you are looking for an online therapist for major life transitions or a telehealth psychologist perspective on co-occurring disorders, I am dedicated to providing high-quality mental health services online.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When you work with me, you are entering a safe, collaborative space where you don’t have to filter yourself or have everything figured out. My style as a telehealth therapist near me for Florida residents is integrative, client-centered, and trauma-informed. In our online therapy sessions, I prioritize creating a relationship where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I utilize telehealth for behavioral health to provide a balance of validation and gentle accountability, helping you understand the origins of your patterns while equipping you with practical tools. My goal is to help you build the self-awareness and emotional regulation skills needed to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process begins with building a secure therapeutic foundation where we can explore your challenges and align our work with your personal values. During our telehealth psychotherapy sessions, I draw from evidence-based modalities including CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT-informed skills, and Motivational Interviewing. A typical session of telehealth counseling may also incorporate Solution-Focused and relational work to address issues like burnout, compassion fatigue, and life adjustments. Through these telehealth therapy services, we will work together to build resilience and create meaningful, lasting change.
