Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Patricia integrates several practical approaches to support change and healing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action aligned with those values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transition work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and replacing them with more effective coping strategies - it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method that supports processing distressing memories so they hold less emotional charge - it is commonly used when past trauma affects current functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, flexible support while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
