Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing emotions and behaviors - this approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related problems. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that support better awareness of thoughts and feelings and can complement other therapeutic work. In many cases she uses solution-focused techniques to help clients identify immediate goals and build on what is already working in their lives, keeping sessions goal-oriented and practical.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists, access support from home or on the go, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
