Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Patti Mallow

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s goals and personal strengths, offering a supportive environment where the client guides the pace and focus of work. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, self-esteem, and clearer communication in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, and it includes practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is well suited to people looking for structured tools to address symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences and their impact, offering approaches to reduce post-traumatic stress responses and support recovery from abuse and assault.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patti will work with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to fit care into a busy schedule. These formats give clients flexibility in how and when they connect with licensed professionals and therapists while maintaining continuity of care.
