Focus areas and approaches

Everything Patricia lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One common approach she uses teaches practical attention and organization skills to help with ADHD-related difficulties. These are concrete strategies for managing tasks, routines, and focus in daily life.

She also employs short-term techniques for panic disorder and panic attacks that focus on recognizing early signs of arousal and practicing calming exercises. These tools are taught step by step and can be used during moments of high anxiety.

Finally, Patricia incorporates methods to strengthen self-compassion and positive self-talk. This work often includes small behavioral experiments and brief reflective exercises to change how someone talks to themselves day to day.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those aims, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients shape the plan together with the therapist.

Online therapy gives flexibility for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for full sessions, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain steady progress.
