How these approaches shape online therapy

Patricia combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to keep sessions focused and practical. Client-centered therapy means she follows what matters most to the person and builds on existing strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors to try small, testable changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people move past ambivalence. That approach uses gentle, goal-oriented conversation to find internal reasons for change and to boost confidence. Together these approaches help with stress, depression, relationship concerns, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose a quieter time for conversation or avoid driving after a long day, which helps make consistency easier.
