How Pat's Approaches Work Online
Pat uses client-centered work to listen first and follow what matters most to the client, creating space for people to share and be heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and offers concrete exercises to change them. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help building or strengthening motivation to take action and try new strategies.Finding the best fit for therapy is collaborative. Pat will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan based on progress and comfort level.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or sharing updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and stay connected when needed.
