Patricia uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs.
Background and approach
She draws from client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques and trauma-focused work are part of her toolbox when people need skills for overwhelming feelings or past hurts.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change, especially with substance use and addictive behaviors. Expect a warm, direct style that balances practical homework with supportive conversation. Sessions aim to be clear and action-oriented while honoring the pace people choose.
Patricia encourages realistic goals and tracks small wins along the way.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Patricia commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques during online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals, listening closely, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers clear, practical tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems because it breaks worries into steps and suggests exercises clients can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that fit the problem and the person’s comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is helpful for full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking.
