She also draws on emotion-focused and solution-focused methods to repair relationships and set achievable goals.
Her practice addresses many concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and sexuality or non-monogamous relationship concerns. Patricia helps people identify symptoms and work toward clearer, manageable solutions. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented but respectful of each person's pace.
Patricia emphasizes small changes that add up over time. She encourages people to try strategies between sessions and brings a steady, hopeful presence to the work.
Approaches you can use online with a therapist
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers; it is useful for building self-esteem and tackling life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and change behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name strong emotions and improve how they connect with others, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Working together makes it easier to pick strategies that fit the person’s style and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and scheduling permit. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video is not possible or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people keep in touch between sessions or use written check-ins when that format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
