How Patrick Applies Therapeutic Approaches Online

Patrick uses Client-Centered Therapy to start by listening closely and working with each person to set practical goals; this approach helps when someone needs a calmer space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal handling, which is helpful for anxiety, anger, and relationship patterns. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he uses to help people find their own reasons for change and plan the small steps that make those changes happen.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patrick treats the choice of methods as a collaboration, checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the plan based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. He aims to blend listening with skill practice so clients see steady progress.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules while keeping the focus on practical coping and growth.
