How Patricia works
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier routines.

She has experience addressing substance use concerns alongside mental health struggles.
Practical skills for coping with change are a frequent focus of her sessions. Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Sessions often include skills practice, communication tools, and steps to handle cravings, mood swings, or grief.
Patricia supports people in building assertiveness and clearer boundaries so they can feel more comfortable in their daily roles.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions let Patricia follow your lead and adjust pace while you describe concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will discuss options, try techniques, and adapt methods based on your goals and what feels most useful. The plan can shift as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see body language and practice communication exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text provide brief check-ins, quick skill refreshers, or support between longer sessions, offering flexibility to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
