Approaches and Online Options for Personalized Care



Patricia frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life - this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to major changes. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and supports clients in finding their own solutions and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool in her work, offering practical techniques to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining strategies where appropriate so therapy remains focused and relevant.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward personal goals with a licensed professional.
