Online therapy and approach
Patricia uses a combination of structured and client-centered methods when working remotely. She commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. She also employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These approaches are presented in straightforward, skills-based sessions suited to practical problem solving and symptom management.
Alongside those methods, she incorporates client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices that invite reflection and support the client’s own goals. Narrative elements may be used to explore personal stories and meanings that shape current challenges. Patricia frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts the mix of strategies to match each person’s preferences and needs.
Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow for regular contact, skill coaching, and ongoing dialogue while she works with clients to set goals and measure progress together.
