Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Patricia Brooks
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this work by encouraging clients to clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility - learning to accept difficult emotions while committing to actions that align with what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt techniques from these models to create a tailored plan. The intention is to match methods to the individual rather than prescribe a single path.
Online therapy with Patricia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend appointments from home, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support when in-person visits are not feasible, while still working with a licensed professional to pursue meaningful change.
