How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Patricia combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to address practical problems. Client-centered work focuses on listening to the person's perspective and helping them clarify what matters. This approach can help people who need space to process feelings about parenting, family strain, grief, or loss. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening-focused sessions and adding CBT tools or solution-focused steps when helpful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people focus on practical skill practice in everyday settings and try new coping steps between sessions.Areas of focus
