How Patricia’s Approaches Translate Online
Patricia uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.She also uses EMDR to address trauma and disturbing memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. EMDR can reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with the client to identify goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She emphasizes short-term practical gains alongside deeper processing when needed.
