Those methods help with anxiety, mood shifts, and addictive behaviors by teaching new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and urges. Sessions blend supportive listening with exercises and tools to practice between meetings. Patricia also addresses stress tied to caregiving, workplace strain, pregnancy and childbirth, and relationship-related isolation or shame.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then trying practical experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling urges linked to addictive behavior or self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she tailors methods and tools to fit those needs and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual aids. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter, frequent touchpoints. These formats aim to increase flexibility, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
