How Patrick’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that can help reduce the intensity of distressing memories when used as part of a paced treatment plan.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patrick will talk with each person about goals and experiences, then suggest approaches that match those needs. He treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let you use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or work through thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life.
