How her methods translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. In online sessions this means creating space to tell your story, naming strengths, and deciding together what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. That plan can change as work progresses and new needs appear.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online work helpful for fitting appointments into busy days, reducing travel time, and making follow-ups easier after a shorter check-in. Ask about available session options when you start so you can pick what fits your routine.
