Remote therapy options and therapeutic approach
Patricia integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior in a practical, skills-oriented way. Cognitive behavioral therapy is described in accessible terms to help identify unhelpful thinking and develop alternative responses. Dialectical behavior therapy is used to introduce emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills while attending to interpersonal effectiveness.For concerns related to trauma and abuse, Patricia employs trauma-focused therapy to attend directly to the impact of traumatic events within a structured clinical framework. Across modalities she maintains a client-centered stance, working collaboratively with each person to choose techniques and goals that fit their needs. Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
