Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating difficult life choices. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people improve trust, communication, and relationship security. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Tricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to try strategies, adjust as progress is made, and tailor the work to what feels most useful.

Online therapy makes this collaborative work more flexible and accessible. Sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care across life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for their process. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent, supportive treatment that adapts to each person's circumstances.
