Background and approach

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and relationship needs. Patrice also supports people dealing with attention and focus difficulties, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps set small, practical goals.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs. Her practice pays attention to life context, including workplace stress, experiences of prejudice and discrimination, and concerns tied to women's issues. She guides people through steps to improve self-love, a clearer sense of life purpose, and better social confidence.

Patrice offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging for flexible scheduling. People who want to begin can complete a short intake questionnaire and schedule according to available times.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. In brief sessions this can mean noticing connection patterns, naming unmet needs, and practicing new ways of asking for support. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different tools to see what fits. Over time she adjusts techniques and pace so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or times when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to use different tools as needs change.
