Patricia combines that with cognitive-behavioral tools and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes. Patricia often includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas for emotion regulation and coping skills when people need them. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and build momentum for change.
Sessions focus on clear steps and real-life practice rather than jargon.

Online session options
Narrative and practical approaches for online care
Patricia draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks for moments of strength in a person’s life and helps build new, more helpful narratives. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work, so sessions focus on listening, respect, and following the client’s pace to set goals and priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT tools can help with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day problem solving by breaking big problems into doable steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then shape sessions to fit those goals. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what works.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing, flexible support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue progress between meetings.
