How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarify their priorities so they can take small, manageable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage strong feelings and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia partners with each person to decide which methods match their goals and day-to-day needs. She combines listening with practical techniques and adapts the plan as progress and challenges arise so clients help shape the path forward.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue work while coping with life changes or when attending in-person sessions is difficult. Ask about session formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
