About Patricia
Her practice focuses on creating an open and nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely, and where practical strategies and emotional support are offered in equal measure. Patricia works collaboratively with clients to set achievable goals and to develop skills for coping with stress, managing emotions, and improving communication and relationships. She also provides support for career transitions, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of life changes that impact well-being.
Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Patricia is committed to helping people get started and stay engaged in the work. Her approach blends clinical experience with a compassionate, client-centered stance to help individuals move toward meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Patricia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that align with what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, helping clients improve intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change thinking and behavior, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible options for receiving care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. Patricia integrates these modalities to support consistent engagement and to meet clients where they are in their healing journey.
