Remote Counseling with CBT, DBT, and Existential Focus
Patrick Miranda integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical behavioral strategies and existential perspectives in remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral methods are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical coping strategies. Dialectical behavioral skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Existential ideas invite reflection on values, life purpose, and meaning.This blend can suit people who want both concrete skill-building and deeper exploration of personal values. Patrick works collaboratively to tailor the balance of skill practice and reflective inquiry to the individual’s concerns, whether those involve mood, addiction, stress, or relationship patterns. Sessions aim to help participants better articulate their values while practicing new ways of responding to difficult emotions.
Remote appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow for ongoing communication and skill reinforcement between meetings. Patrick partners with each person to determine which format and pacing fit their needs.
