About Patria
Patria creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings, along with time to talk through upsetting events and patterns. She aims to help people find clearer thinking and steadier routines when life feels overwhelming.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness tools and Solution-Focused techniques are used when helpful to manage stress and set small, achievable goals.
Patria’s background includes seven years working with people facing a mix of challenges, including adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with body image, commitment struggles, and the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters.
Beginning therapy with Patria starts with a simple match process and a short questionnaire to help pair goals and practical needs. She encourages a steady pace and clear steps so clients can see progress in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities, helping people set the pace for sessions and choose what matters most to them. This approach is useful for discussing parenting worries, relationship strain, or feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related concentration problems, and managing stress with practical strategies.
Mindfulness Therapy adds brief exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away, which can help with anxiety, trauma reminders, and chronic pain management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions so methods are practical and relevant. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are expected as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows people to use tools learned in therapy right away in their daily routine.
