How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people clarify what matters to them and guides the work toward their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s goals and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or more frequent brief meetings when needed. Confirm the supported session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and conducted.
