How Patricia’s Methods Work Online

Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and goals. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting working relationship so clients feel heard and understood.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and stress because it offers clear tools and exercises to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening, practical skill-building, mindfulness, or short-term solution work.

Online sessions can take different forms to match day-to-day life.

Discuss the practical arrangements before beginning therapy online. Confirm the current session options, fees, and appointment schedule, and raise any access needs or communication preferences. The aim is to understand the next steps and decide whether the proposed arrangements work for you.
