Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Patrick integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his work. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with loss or addiction. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s capacity for growth, supporting self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances and to improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patrick collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts strategies over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - provide flexibility for busy schedules and for those who find in-person visits difficult. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and connect with a licensed professional from familiar surroundings.
