How Pattra’s approaches translate to online work
Pattra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT-based skills help when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routine, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she and the client decide which techniques to try and adapt them as needed in ongoing sessions.
