Patricia’s approach is warm and interactive. She listens carefully and adapts conversations to each person.
How Patricia works
Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes that fit into a person’s life rather than overwhelming plans. She avoids labels and treats each person with sensitivity and respect. She draws on several methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, the Gottman Method for relationship issues, and solution-focused techniques.
Those tools guide her work to reduce distress, change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and rebuild connection where it has frayed. Patricia explains options and helps people choose what feels most useful. Her experience includes working with aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, and prejudice and discrimination.
She also addresses codependency, communication and control issues, infidelity, divorce and separation, and midlife questions about purpose. Patricia practices from Utah and offers sessions in English. She emphasizes straightforward goals, practical coping skills, and a collaborative working relationship to help people move toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.

Online support options
Approaches for online therapy and practical change
Patricia uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience and priorities. That approach centers on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their own goals and solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a practical method she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression.Picking the right approach is collaborative. Patricia will talk about options and tailor methods based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She often combines approaches so sessions stay focused and directly useful for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when shorter, written exchanges feel easier to manage. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people get consistent support that fits their routine.
