Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Pattra Dodd frequently uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support clients. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and partnership, helping individuals explore their experiences and identify goals in a supportive, nonjudgmental way. CBT is a structured approach that helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal interactions, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Pattra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her plan as work progresses to ensure the approach remains a good fit.

Online therapy with Pattra is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes, reduce travel time, and provide access for clients who prefer remote sessions with licensed professionals.
