Therapeutic approaches and what online work can look like

Patricia combines client-centered work with skills-based methods to meet real-life needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace, helping people name what matters and set their own goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and reducing harmful behaviors, which can help with addictions, panic, and mood dysregulation.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find personal motivation for change. It involves guided conversation to clarify values and next steps, which can be useful when someone feels stuck. Patricia approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their situation and goals.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as during lunch breaks or between appointments. It can also reduce travel time and allow for follow-up conversations about skills practiced during the week. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how she is offering sessions, and plan a simple, quiet time that supports focused work rather than frequent interruptions.
