Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Paula Patterson integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her practice in ways that are understandable and practical. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and supports taking actions that align with personal values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections, helping clients improve trust, closeness, and emotional regulation in relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-harm urges, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for emotion regulation and coping under stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paula works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to take an active role in shaping the plan of care.
Online therapy with Paula is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide the process.
