How her approaches translate to online work

Patricia commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to help people make practical changes. CBT breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and strengths to move toward specific goals.

She also uses client-centered and motivational interviewing techniques to support each person’s own motivation for change. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Patricia works with the client to pick approaches that match needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying one fixed method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks. They can also offer flexibility for shorter check-ins or when time is limited, helping people keep momentum between in-person visits or appointments.
