Online support
How Patricia’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for managing anxiety, mood struggles, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video can mirror an in-person session for deeper conversation, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text sessions are good for shorter check-ins, skills practice, or when writing out thoughts helps organize them. These options help people maintain continuity of care and access support from different locations and schedules.
