Online Therapy Grounded in Practical Skills and Personal Values

Patricia Whatley draws from evidence-based approaches that can translate well to online therapy, especially when clients want both emotional support and practical tools for day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new ways to respond. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem by helping clients test out more helpful perspectives and routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult thoughts or feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially useful during life changes and times of uncertainty. Mindfulness Therapy supports greater awareness of the present moment, helping clients relate to emotions and stress in a steadier way rather than feeling pulled around by them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust the pace and tools so therapy feels relevant and supportive.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose a format that feels comfortable from one week to the next.
