Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the individual is heard and supported - it helps people build self-awareness and confidence to address life concerns. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method is a research-informed approach for couples that strengthens communication, repairs conflict patterns, and builds partnership skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques so the plan fits the client's situation rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Patricia offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around work, family obligations, or mobility limits, and they allow continuity of care when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver consistent support and practical interventions that help clients move forward.
