How Patricia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarifies personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping during crises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She blends approaches when useful, and checks in regularly to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness and CBT exercises in their everyday environments. Licensed professionals, including therapists, often adapt materials and skills for remote sessions so people can practice between appointments.
