Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Patricia uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values drive the work; this approach helps people who want growth guided by their own priorities and pace. She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and coping under stress.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so the care fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to schedule sessions around work, family, or health needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats to see what works best, and access help from home or another convenient location.
