Patricia also addresses life purpose questions, forgiveness, and compassion fatigue.

How her approaches work online
Patricia blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to create clear, practical sessions. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows each person's goals while offering respectful reflection and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress in the moment. Together these approaches help with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and coping with life transitions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Patricia checks in about goals and tries methods that match a person's needs and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make attending therapy more flexible and practical for daily routines.
