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

Approaches that guide online sessions

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel empty, stuck, or overwhelmed by life changes to name what matters and make intentional decisions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering empathy and acceptance so clients can explore feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and eating or sleeping problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the focus as progress and needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during breaks, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills, follow up after difficult moments, and keep therapy consistent when life gets busy.
