Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Patricia commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the person's experience, helping them feel listened to and guiding them to clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are helpful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try, adjusting the plan as needs and goals evolve. This collaborative process helps people find approaches that feel useful rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth weekly work and skill practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins, live chat suits shorter focused conversations, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
