Client-Centered and CBT Techniques for Online Sessions



Patricia uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space in which clients lead the conversation and set the pace of their work. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while exploring personal values, relationships, and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skills, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Patricia collaborates with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to tailor strategies, combining empathetic listening with concrete tools so progress feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in care from locations that suit their lives. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support when in-person visits are not feasible, all while working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
