Approaches Patricia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Patricia uses Existential Therapy to help people name what matters in their lives and face difficult choices with more clarity. That approach focuses on meaning, responsibility, and finding direction when life feels uncertain.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which places the person's experience at the center of sessions and emphasizes empathy and respect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors that ease symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the approach based on what is helping.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day or to keep a running dialogue between sessions.
