Experienced therapist for addiction and trauma recovery

About Patricia

Patricia Meneghini brings 40 years of professional experience to her practice and is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC. She focuses on guiding people who are struggling with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression.

Background and approach

Patricia approaches each person with respect for their lived experience and a belief that clients hold many strengths that can be mobilized to overcome current challenges. Clients can expect a compassionate, empowering relationship that honors their perspective while offering structured, evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Patricia frames change as a courageous step and works collaboratively to support progress toward a more satisfying and balanced life. Her decades of clinical work inform a steady, experienced presence aimed at helping clients build coping skills, process painful experiences, and manage intense emotions.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people process trauma and manage strong emotions. One approach focuses on processing painful experiences in a structured way so they have less impact on daily life and relationships. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for emotional regulation and anger management, teaching practical strategies to reduce reactivity and improve coping during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adapt techniques to fit individual needs and preferences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats allow ongoing therapeutic work from different locations and can make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access care in ways that fit daily life.
