How her approaches work for online therapy
Patricia uses client-centered therapy to put the person's priorities first. That means sessions begin with what matters to the client and build goals from there, helping with issues like relationship worries, parenting strain, or life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with change by teaching clear steps people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will check in about goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses so the work feels useful and manageable.
Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule evening or weekend sessions, and allowing shorter check-ins when a full session isn't possible. Many people find it simpler to keep consistent appointments and practice between sessions when therapy fits their routine.
