Therapeutic Approaches Patricia Uses for Online Work

Patricia often draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused approaches in her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy and collaboration - it helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding and work through relationship or life-change issues. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic and stress-related problems. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and symptoms and supports recovery from post-traumatic stress and related consequences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods are likely to be most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Patricia can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, support access for those with mobility or location constraints, and allow ongoing work to continue when in-person meetings are not possible.
