Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual’s own goals and experiences, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps build self-awareness and confidence. This approach is useful for people seeking empathy, validation, and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing effects of traumatic experiences. It helps clients develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and make meaning of difficult events while working at a pace that feels manageable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia Adams works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations and at varied times. These options make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care and focus on meaningful outcomes.
