About Chiquita

Chiquita Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 11 years of counseling experience to her work and focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people take small, steady steps forward.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions around each person's goals.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be interactive and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings. Chiquita avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Her background includes work in psychiatric residential settings, intensive in-home services, and outpatient care for both children and adults, plus supervision of a program serving young adults up to age 24.

That range of settings helped her learn to match approaches to practical needs rather than one-size-fits-all methods. Chiquita helps people with many common concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family struggles, parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses blended family problems, commitment questions, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse.

In sessions she aims to combine clear tools with compassionate listening. Conversations are tailored to the person’s situation, focusing on concrete steps, coping strategies, and gradual change. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to move at a pace that feels manageable.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Chiquita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing skills. Mindfulness can help people manage stress, improve sleep, and respond more calmly to strong emotions.

Solution-Focused Therapy is part of the mix when clients want short-term, goal-directed work. That approach highlights small changes and what’s already working to build momentum toward specific goals.

Picking the best approach is part of the early work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend a plan. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when discussing sensitive topics matters most. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging give a way to work through short concerns, practice skills between sessions, or keep momentum if schedules are tight. These options offer flexibility for people living in North Carolina or who need different ways to connect with licensed professionals.
