How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online
Patricia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. DBT offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful for strong emotions, relationship difficulties, and self-management.She views selecting an approach as a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their learning style, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process is part of the therapy itself and helps people find the best path forward.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face interactions from wherever they are, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or shorter coaching-style exchanges between sessions. Those options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue momentum between meetings.
