Background and approach
Over two decades she has worked with issues tied to caregiving burden, workplace strain, pregnancy and childbirth, and substance use concerns. Her style is warm and direct. Sessions focus on what matters to each person.
She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people try concrete strategies between meetings. Patricia uses several practical approaches that aim to reduce distress and increase choices. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered listening to help clients notice patterns and test new ways of coping.
People who come for help may work on managing guilt and shame, navigating forgiveness, reducing isolation, or finding clearer purpose. She also supports those facing mood disorders, financial stress, and domestic violence history by addressing immediate concerns and next steps. The process is collaborative.
Patricia helps set goals, tracks progress, and adjusts methods to fit each person's life and pace. She emphasizes steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and build skills. It is often used for anxiety, mood symptoms, and coping with stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals to create a supportive space for change.Picking the right approach is a team effort. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper connection helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone needs support between sessions. These options give flexibility to meet regularly, practice new skills, and stay connected while balancing other responsibilities.
