Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Online

Dr. Patrick Mathieu integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online care to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotional responses, useful for work on attachment issues, parenting concerns, and family of origin difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their past, which can reduce the influence of shame, guilt, or traumatic narratives and support growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Patrick Mathieu works with each person to select and adapt methods based on individual goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. The aim is a practical, person-centered plan that fits the client’s needs.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
