Background and approach
Sessions are practical and cooperative, with gentle challenge when it helps people move forward. Her background includes supporting people with career questions and motivation, and assisting those affected by codependency, communication problems and workplace stress. She also works with people processing sexual assault, domestic violence or family-of-origin hurt.
Patricia can include faith-based perspectives when requested, as she is a qualified Christian counsellor. Patricia uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and narrative work. She helps clients try new ways of thinking and acting, learn mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity, and reframe difficult stories into more helpful ones.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and practises from Australia, drawing on years of practical experience to support each person's goals.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Patricia commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour that fuel anxiety and stress. CBT sessions online often include exercises and practical homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach breathing and attention skills that reduce reactivity and help with emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Patricia works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences and life situation. Over a few sessions she will recommend techniques to try and adjust the approach based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and visual connection, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
