How Patricia works
She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and the strain of life transitions. Additional areas she addresses include hospice and end-of-life concerns, infidelity and jealousy, and issues experienced by veterans and armed forces members. Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going.
She draws on Motivational Interviewing when people are ready to consider change but feel unsure. Narrative Therapy helps clients reframe their stories, and Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Patricia emphasizes collaboration - she listens first, then helps build a plan that matches each person’s needs and strengths. Her style is direct but warm, aiming to make the process manageable and practical. People who choose Patricia can expect focused conversations, techniques they can use between sessions, and help creating small steps toward larger changes.

Therapy approaches and how they work online
Patricia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressed moods. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, building trust, and working at the person’s pace to explore intimacy, relationship issues, or parenting stresses.She also applies Motivational Interviewing when someone feels stuck about making changes. That approach uses gentle questions to help clarify goals and strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. Patricia treats finding the right approach as a shared process and will discuss options with each person to tailor methods to their goals and preferences.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use exercises and see facial cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, follow-up notes, and flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to attend appointments and to keep applying skills between meetings.
