How Patricia Brings Talk Therapy Online
Patricia draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where the person's concerns guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and helping them set the pace for change.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments that help reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as needs change.
