Evidence-based approaches and online care
Patricia "Patsy" Holden uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic - teaching breathing methods, grounding techniques, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and distress. Another strand of her work addresses trauma and grief with paced processing and coping strategies to help people handle difficult memories and intense feelings without becoming overwhelmed.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Patsy works with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts methods over time and checks in regularly to see what is working and what needs changing.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get support from Texas without traveling and to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
