How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and helps people try new ways of relating and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the client's goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. Sessions are collaborative, so techniques are chosen with client preferences and daily life in mind.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter time for check-ins. Some approaches translate well to shorter skill-based sessions, while others may use longer conversational work; Patricia will help choose what matches each person's needs and routines.
