Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Patricia Green-Metz integrates several practical approaches into her online practice to meet varied needs. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the individual s experience, offering a respectful, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client s lead to strengthen self-awareness and personal growth; it is useful for people seeking deeper self-understanding and relationship work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies and emphasizes skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; it can be particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Patricia approaches selection of methods collaboratively - she works with each person to determine which approaches align best with their goals, preferences, and circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. This range of options supports continuity of care and lets people choose the format that feels most manageable and effective for them.
