Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia McCullough integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and adult relational patterns to help people understand how past connections influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and relationship challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens carefully and helps the person find their own solutions; this approach supports self-esteem, motivation, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from their own settings and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and to access licensed professionals who can provide ongoing support and practical strategies for coping and recovery.
