Hi!
My name is Patty. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan and Utah with 9 years of professional work experience.
My background includes helping clients in all of life's stages with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression.
I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
My special skill is to know when people need a gentle reminder and when they need to be held firmly accountable. I meet people's needs. Let's start where you are and get you where you want to go.
I believe you are the expert in your own life. Allow me to be the objective observer to guide and assist you in this stage of your journey by sharing skills of relation strategies, mindfulness, self-awareness and creative expression. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage. Congratulations! I really look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Patricia Pattan-O'Neal. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Patty has a remarkable gift for creating a space where defenses naturally fall away. She fosters an environment where every emotion—from deep-seated anger to quiet regret—is welcomed without judgment. Throughout a "tornado" of life events, including the loss of a parent, a child’s illness, and a difficult divorce, Patty has been my grounding force. Whether we are sharing laughter through the pain or sitting together through "tears on top of tears," she has walked with me every step of the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone navigating funnel clouds.

I like that she checks in between sessions. I use her messages as a chance to reflect and decide what I need to talk about with here in our formal sessions. It feels nice knowing she is looking out for me even between scheduled sessions and that she is just a text away if things get difficult.

I don’t know what more I can say. I’m glad I found out at our second meeting that she has been trained in TB-CBT. I feel that she is understanding and that she has tools that can help me.

The support I receive from Patty provides me confidence in caring for myself in all the right ways. While she listens to me, she has also taught me how to listen to myself. In addition to my weekly video sessions she continues to check-in with me throughout the week to see if there is anything she can help me with. She recommends exercises (for mind as well as body), readings, activities and a variety of different tools to explore to better my mental health. When working with Patty I am met with encouragement, acceptance and enthusiasm. I feel blessed to have a professional therapist who teaches me how to care for my mind, body, heart and soul.

Patricia is the first therapist who actually gets what I’m talking about, provides a lot of comfort and support through the grief process and gives really great tips and activities I can do daily to help move myself forward. I really enjoy and look forward to chatting with her every week. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Patricia combines a wealth of real world experience and therapy based approaches when offering counseling services. The more information you can provide her, the more she can set a framework for success. With my treatments. She has adapted to my communication skills, to provide active listening and provide critical feedback as requested, and to look for the grey areas that are out of my vision.

I've been working with Patricia for 5 months now. The support and guidance I've received has been so life changing. This has been the hardest 5 months of my life. Having her support has really made this time go so much better then I ever expected.

Very professional and supportive. This is 1st time for me to have therapy and she has made it very comfortable. I have only gotten started but it has already made a difference in my daily outlook. She has opened my mind to other ways to make my issues not easier...because there is no easy way to do anything that has happened in my life...but ways to make them more bearable.
