Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work into online sessions to address patterns that keep people feeling stuck. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood, offering concrete strategies and skill practice that translate well to remote formats. Attachment-based therapy explores relationship patterns and emotional needs, helping clients understand how early and current relational experiences shape coping and responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy aligns with what helps the individual most. Clients are invited to discuss what feels most useful and to shape the focus of sessions together.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions while fitting therapy into a varied schedule.
