Approaches Patricia Uses for Online Care

Patricia integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide practical, person-focused support online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy and collaboration so clients can explore their values and build self-awareness; it is often helpful for relationship, identity and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing structured skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress and mood-related challenges.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills, which can be useful for anxiety, coping with life changes and emotional regulation. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together the therapist and client review progress and adapt approaches as needed.

Online sessions with Patricia are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to access licensed professionals, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and fit therapy into busy routines while still focusing on effective, evidence-informed practices.
