Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth (Beth) Fitzpatrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and she also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy when appropriate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, useful for addiction, career shifts, and behavior change. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on healing from traumatic experiences by addressing symptoms and building coping resources to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Beth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining strategies to support short-term relief and longer-term growth.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, adapt to changing needs, and offer ongoing support in ways that fit a client's daily life.
