About Patricia

Patricia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then partners with each person to set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions may include skill practice, mindfulness exercises, and concrete strategies to manage mood and stress. Her background includes eight years working in behavioral health settings.
That experience includes helping people through loss, trauma, and chronic illness, and addressing caregiver strain and communication problems. Patricia aims to be both compassionate and direct when it’s needed. People meet her when they want to feel steadier and more in control of day-to-day life.
She uses straightforward language and practical steps rather than jargon. Work in therapy focuses on what is useful now and what small changes lead to better functioning. Patricia invites people to start where they are and move toward clear goals.
She emphasizes collaboration and accountability, helping clients build skills for coping, self-awareness, and healthier relationships.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work
Patricia uses client-centered therapy to create a space where people feel heard. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and following each person’s pace so goals come from what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and unhelpful habits by teaching practical exercises to test thoughts and try new behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working together. That plan can change as needs shift and progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, travel, or times when an in-person visit isn’t possible.
