Integrating proven approaches in online sessions
Patricia draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings, often useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches skills to shift those patterns, often helpful for depression, anxiety, and coping skills development. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her work with a focus on empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to find their own solutions, which is valuable for building self-esteem and navigating relationship issues.
