Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Patricia commonly uses client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation follows what matters most to the person, and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical techniques for emotion regulation, coping with intense feelings, and improving relationships. These skills are taught step-by-step and practiced in session so people can try them between meetings. Choosing which approaches to use is a shared process; the therapist and client review goals and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible care. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, skills coaching, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines and to continue care when travel or scheduling is difficult.
