How Patrick works
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-driven choices when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Solution-Focused and Motivational tools emphasize small steps that build momentum. Sessions commonly focus on coping with life changes, managing mood swings, addressing addiction, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Patrick also works on issues such as guilt and shame, loneliness, career concerns, and finding life purpose. He offers clear, skills-based guidance alongside open listening. His style is collaborative and goal oriented.
People set practical targets, try small experiments between sessions, and check progress together. Patrick believes therapy should teach skills people can use after sessions end. He provides appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their calendar.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that reflect what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions remain focused and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum between meetings.
