Online session approaches



Patricia Ring offers remote care using approaches that translate well to video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior through practical strategies and skill practice. Cognitive work can include structured problem solving and behavioral experiments adapted for an online format.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help explore and name core emotional experiences and to strengthen relational patterns. In a teletherapy setting this approach focuses on creating clear emotional understanding and on practicing new responses within the therapeutic relationship. Mindfulness Therapy is another component she integrates to support present-moment awareness and stress management through brief exercises and attention practices that can be guided across video or phone sessions.

Ring collaborates with each person to determine which combination of these methods fits their needs and goals. Remote options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
