Practical, Evidence-Informed Therapy Online
Patricia Leigh draws from several established approaches that can translate well to online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where clients can talk openly, clarify goals, and build insight at a comfortable pace. It is often helpful for stress, self-esteem concerns, and navigating life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and practice new skills that support day-to-day coping, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, supporting people who want concrete strategies for managing intense feelings and impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia collaborates with clients to understand preferences, needs, and goals, then adjusts the work accordingly so sessions feel relevant and workable over time.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and access support from home or wherever is most convenient.
