Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Patricia Riley draws on evidence-informed approaches to help clients identify patterns, set goals, and make practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning new strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change - it is often useful for issues such as addiction, behavior change, and making life transitions.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and pacing so treatment aligns with the client’s readiness and circumstances.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments, and they increase accessibility for people who prefer remote support. The variety of communication formats also lets therapists and clients choose the mode that best supports progress and continuity of care.
