About Patrice

Patrice Trevoledes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 34 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and depression. She frames the person as the expert in their own life and focuses on practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning.

Background and approach

Patrice keeps the process straightforward and supportive for people taking the first step toward change. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with counseling that centers the client's perspective.

She uses the Gottman Method alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and client-centered listening to help people rebuild connection, set personal goals, and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with simple exercises you can try between meetings.

Patrice draws on decades of clinical work to spot common obstacles like avoidance, negative self-talk, and relationship cycles. She helps people name what matters, clarify values, and practice small behavior changes that add up over time.

For those facing life transitions, grief, or career strain she offers step-by-step coping tools. She also addresses issues such as addictions, parenting stress, family of origin concerns, multicultural challenges, and seasonal mood shifts.

Patrice pays attention to identity-related concerns, including LGBT matters, and to young adult issues and veteran or armed forces experiences when they come up in therapy. Sessions are offered from California and are conducted in English.

Patrice uses straightforward language and short, practical exercises so clients can put new ideas to work between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Patrice commonly combines the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered listening. The Gottman-informed work focuses on communication patterns and rebuilding trust in close relationships, using specific exercises to reduce conflict and increase connection. ACT helps people clarify values and commit to actions that match those values, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and meeting people where they are to encourage growth and self-direction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they shape a plan that may draw on one or more methods and that can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
