Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client feels heard and supported while identifying personally meaningful goals. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EFT helps people explore and reshape emotional responses within relationships, making it well suited for couples or individuals dealing with attachment and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time and adapts techniques so they fit the client rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, support continuity of care during life transitions, and allow therapists and clients to work together effectively from different locations.
