Evidence-Based Practices are great Words. Real life takes adaptation, acceptance, and attunement. Most people come to therapy not out of brokenness, but because they are stuck on the Map of Life, in a cul-de-sac. Patti is able to meet online, or in person in Slavic Village and Barnesville. Partnering with LGBTQIA, Prescribers, and Recovery supports to help patients connect with care for their healthiest self.

Spring is a time for renewal and what better time to focus on renewing yourself and your life! In my 16 years as a therapist, I've supported many clients to take a new look at their life and to move toward that renewal. While therapy might feel scary at first, my training and support will make it less so. I can teach you skills through therapies including DBT and EMDR that will allow you to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and more. Your life doesn't have to feel out of control or difficult to manage. I'm here to help. Allow me to walk with you as we work together toward building the healthier life you want and deserve!

Courtney Sokira

Courtney Sokira

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals and couples from a collaborative, compassionate, and relationship-centered perspective. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, heard, respected, and understood. I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be open about their experiences and feel supported as they work toward their goals. With individuals, I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills for emotional regulation, coping, communication, and healthier patterns of thinking and relating. With couples, I focus on strengthening emotional connection, improving communication, understanding relationship patterns, and helping partners feel more secure and connected to one another. Drawing from EFT and the Gottman Method, I help couples move beyond recurring conflict and develop greater understanding, empathy, and connection.
