Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Patricia Marchman integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning, making it effective for depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may blend techniques from different approaches to tailor care to the individual.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need for in-person visits.
