About Patricia
Patricia (Trisha) Blackburn, LICSW, LCSW, is licensed in New York and has 20 years of professional experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and depression using client-centered and mindfulness approaches. She emphasizes the client as the expert in their own story and builds on individual strengths during sessions.
Blackburn approaches care in a straightforward way. Sessions focus on what clients bring and practical steps to manage current problems. She uses client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress, emotional regulation, and attention challenges.
Her background includes two decades of hands-on work supporting people through loss, life changes, and persistent mood concerns. She has experience with addiction, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse among other issues. She also addresses sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem problems, and career stress.
Additional focus areas in her practice include aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, communication problems, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Blackburn also addresses relationship strains such as divorce, infidelity, and domestic violence when clients bring these topics.
Sessions may also cover postpartum and perinatal concerns, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, money and financial worries, and problems related to prejudice and discrimination. She works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and supporting the client's own problem-solving. It helps when someone needs a therapist who follows their lead and clarifies what matters most.Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. It is often useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and difficulties with concentration or overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as goals change and progress is reviewed together.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and let people join from different locations without travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to reduce scheduling barriers while focusing on practical strategies and skills relevant to daily life.
