Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Patricia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, goal-focused approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and develop skills to manage stress, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. She also draws on the Gottman Method when working with couples and families - a skills-based approach that focuses on communication, conflict management, and rebuilding connection in relationships. Mindfulness therapy is another tool Patricia uses to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress, which can support emotional regulation and overall well-being.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each client to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors the blend of techniques accordingly so the therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and daily commitments. These formats allow Patricia to offer flexible scheduling, maintain continuity between sessions, and use approaches that suit how a client prefers to communicate and engage in the work.
