How Patricia's Approaches Work Online
Patricia uses client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals and values. This approach means the therapist listens closely and helps people make choices that fit their life and priorities.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers step-by-step tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these tools to help with grounding, emotion regulation, and managing cravings or impulsive behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That collaboration helps make short-term plans and longer-term changes that feel realistic.
