How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online
Patricia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and shift patterns in close relationships and attachment. EFT supports identifying emotions under the surface and changing interaction cycles that cause hurt. Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of her work; it keeps the focus on the client’s priorities and encourages self-directed growth through empathy and listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. The plan can mix elements from different approaches so the work aligns with what the client needs and wants.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone meetings work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, and other commitments.
