How Patricia’s approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how relationships shape current feelings and responses, so online conversations focus on understanding patterns in close connections and building new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own goals and experience, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk and reflect while the therapist follows the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short, actionable strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and what they prefer in sessions. That collaborative choice can shift over time as goals and circumstances change.
The practical benefit of doing this work online is that it can fit more easily into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, allow for a shorter phone or video check-in when needed, or let someone maintain continuity of care across moves or job changes. The focus remains on clear, usable tools and steady progress rather than on the setting of the session.
