Online support
Emotionally focused and practical methods for online care
Patricia commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify core emotions and attachment needs that drive relationship patterns. EFT helps people notice what they feel, name those feelings, and use that awareness to change how they relate to others.She also uses the Gottman Method to teach concrete communication and conflict skills. Gottman-based work focuses on reducing harmful interaction patterns and building more predictable, respectful conversations. Together these approaches support both emotional insight and everyday skill building.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That match can change over time as needs and progress become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work when bandwidth is low. Chat and messaging offer brief, ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
