How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. Patricia focuses on the person’s perspective, helping clients set the pace for sessions and shape goals that matter to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns by teaching practical skills and behavioral experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Confirm the available online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports consistent attendance during life transitions. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions to meet your goals and daily routines.
