Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented and can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach Patricia applies; ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so clients can take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her work as well, emphasizing empathy, collaboration, and the client's own resources to guide change and growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time as circumstances and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
