Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Patricia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, build psychological flexibility, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts and emotions arise. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where aligning actions with values reduces avoidance and increases resilience.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns of connection that develop in close relationships and how early bonds affect current interactions. This approach can help couples, parents, and individuals understand and shift relationship patterns to improve trust, intimacy, and emotional safety.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is applied in her work with couples and families to identify underlying emotions that drive conflict and disconnection. EFT supports rebuilding emotional bonds by helping partners express needs more clearly and respond with greater empathy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals may draw from one or more methods, and she will work with clients to adapt techniques that feel most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. These options support ongoing momentum in therapy and allow clients to engage in care in ways that suit their daily lives.
