How Patricia's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Patricia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it emphasizes small, value-based steps instead of fighting every uncomfortable feeling.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be useful for depression, worry, sleep problems, and difficulties with mood or motivation. Client-Centered ideas shape the way she listens and responds, focusing on empathy and respect to build trust.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She collaborates with each person to adjust methods and try practical tools that fit their life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to meet from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
