Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Patrick combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered principles to tailor online work to each person's needs. ACT helps clients clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility through mindful awareness and committed action - it is useful for anxiety, recurring stress, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can aid depression, sleep problems, and anxiety. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a supportive space where clients can explore their experiences and feel respected.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Patrick works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This helps ensure care is both practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into busy lives, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in evidence-based methods.
