How her approaches guide online work
Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's experience and priorities. This approach centers the conversation on what matters most to the client and supports their ability to set meaningful goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioral experiments. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and adjustment challenges where practical steps help change how someone feels.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods feel in practice. That lets the two of you choose techniques that match your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
