Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening, empathy, and helping clients explore their own priorities so they can identify solutions that feel right to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical tools to notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to develop skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to match methods to their goals, drawing on mindfulness, emotionally-focused ideas, or motivational interviewing when those tools seem useful, and adapts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy with Patricia uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible and accessible. These formats allow for scheduling in weekday evenings and weekends and can help people fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity through life changes, and use brief or extended interactions depending on what helps most.
