Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Patricia offers online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Remote work is organized to reflect the same collaborative stance she uses in person, so clients and Patricia plan goals together and select strategies that match the client's preferences and needs.
Client-centered therapy is used to create a respectful space for clients to explore their story and identify strengths. This approach is well suited to people who want an exploratory, empathic process that centers their perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides concrete tools for managing patterns of anxiety, sleep disruption, or depressive thinking and is often combined with skill-building exercises and practical steps.
Motivational Interviewing can be introduced when there is ambivalence about change, helping clients clarify values and increase readiness for action. Patricia aims to collaborate on a clear plan for sessions and to adapt communication style and tools to the technology option the client prefers.
