Online Therapy Approaches and How They Help
Patricia integrates client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work - this approach helps when someone needs validation, clarity, and collaborative goal-setting. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them, which can be particularly useful for addressing attachment concerns, relationship distress, and deep emotional processing. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered to teach practical strategies for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so clients feel involved in shaping their treatment.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, school, family, or geographic limits. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for expressing concerns and practicing new skills with a licensed professional.
