Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships - it helps clients gain insight into repeating patterns and deeper emotional drivers so they can make meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical skills - it is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it supports people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they assess what feels most helpful and adapt the approach over time to support progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily routines. Licensed professionals can deliver the same thoughtful, goal-oriented care remotely, allowing clients to engage in consistent treatment from locations that work for them.
