Integrating Therapeutic Approaches in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that lets the client lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people build self-understanding, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life changes by centering the client’s experience and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms, develop practical coping skills, and target patterns that contribute to difficulties such as mood challenges or addictive behaviors.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and body-based practices that support stress reduction and emotional regulation. Mindfulness techniques can be especially useful for trauma recovery, grief, and managing overwhelm by helping clients reconnect with bodily signals and calm attention.

Patricia approaches treatment collaboratively - she will work with each person to determine which methods fit best given their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic mix is part of the process and is adjusted over time in partnership with the client.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access.
