About
As a therapist I work to form a warm, caring, and collaborative therapeutic relationship with you to build on your strengths and understand all of you - mind, body, heart, and spirit - so that I am able to assist you in meeting your goals and living the meaningful life you seek and desire.
Patricia Robison is a Licensed Psychologist (LP) in the state of Maryland with more than 15 years of experience working with young adults and adults seeking assistance with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity issues, transition issues, stress, grief, and loss.
She earned her MA and Ph.D. degrees in psychology from the Fielding Graduate University. She also has a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Thomas Jefferson University and certifications from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing and the Center for Mind-Body Medicine. Patricia uses an integral approach with key insights and interventions from pharmacological, psychodynamic, cognitive, humanistic, existential, multicultural, and transpersonal approaches to psychotherapy. This inclusive stance confronts the breadth of psychological complexity and meets the needs of each unique person without blending the approaches into one.
Patricia seeks to form a warm, caring, and collaborative therapeutic relationship with you to build on your strengths and understand you–mind, body, heart, and spirit–so that she is able to help you meet your goals and live the meaningful life you seek and desire.

When helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy, I assist the clients in understanding that they can learn to challenge and change negative messages through CBT approaches. I find the best benefit in first identifying the negative messages they believe and using cognitive restructuring strategies to help change their thinking and behaviors because it allows the clients to learn that they truly are in control over their feelings and beliefs.
The tools that are addressed in cognitive behavioral therapy focus on cognitive restructuring strategies and then applying those techniques to help change behaviors that have been harmful to their emotional well-being.
When a client is in therapy and has been using techniques through CBT, they begin to demonstrate meaningful progress by being able to recognize and even stop negative thinking patterns, which results in an improvement in mood. The clients can verbalize in therapy and provide examples where they were more in tune with their thoughts and how they directly impacted their behaviors.
Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy with the use of journaling to be able to reflect on feelings as well as through engaging in self-care and mindfulness strategies to help manage symptoms.
To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can begin by first identifying a few goals they want to work on, as well as possibly some negative behaviors or beliefs they are experiencing that can be specifically addressed during the therapeutic process.
At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Nottingham, MD is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
