How Patti works
That background informs her approach to trauma and post-traumatic stress. Patti combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods. She uses narrative and solution-focused techniques to help people rethink painful stories and try small, practical changes.
Sessions often include skill practice for managing anxiety, building boundaries, or improving communication. Her experience includes individual and group counseling in residential and outreach settings, plus supervision of other counselors and interns. She has worked in a group foster care ranch and led programs at a domestic violence and sexual assault agency, which shaped her emphasis on safety planning and real-world skills.

Therapeutic approaches that work online
Patti often uses client-centered therapy to begin work. This means she listens without judgment and shapes sessions around each person’s needs, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another common element; it focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.Narrative therapy is also part of her toolbox. It helps people separate themselves from painful stories and try new ways of making sense of past events. Together, these approaches can tackle trauma, relationship patterns, self-esteem, and everyday stress in a straightforward way.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patti will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adjusts methods over time so sessions match what is actually helping the client make progress.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counseling into busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel similar to in-person sessions, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, homework review, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility and steady access to a licensed professional who can guide practical skill building and recovery work.
