Approaches Patricia Uses and How Online Therapy Works

Patricia draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship and creating a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings - it is helpful for anyone seeking greater self-understanding, confidence, or support during life changes. CBT is a structured approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and helps clients develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.

She combines these methods in a collaborative way, working with clients to identify which approach or mix of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Determining the right therapeutic path is part of the work together, and Patricia supports clients in adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, continue work between meetings, and access therapy from home or another convenient location, while still working with a licensed professional.
