Online support options
Practical approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It gives people space to talk through concerns while the therapist follows their lead and reflects what matters most to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete steps to try between sessions.
Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support self-awareness. These techniques can help with emotion regulation and coping during difficult moments.
Patricia will work collaboratively to find the best mix of methods for a client's goals and preferences. She discusses options and adjusts the plan as progress is made so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video gives visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or daily life while keeping the focus on steady, usable progress.
