Evidence-Informed Therapies and Online Care

Patricia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her clinical approach. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and committing to meaningful actions - it can be helpful for chronic stress, anxiety, and moving through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and building practical skills to shift those patterns; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, and improving day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and incorporates techniques that align with the client's needs and readiness for change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and allow therapy to adapt to busy lives and changing circumstances.
