Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options
Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns, changing unhelpful responses, and building coping skills. One common approach she uses is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and emotion regulation strategies to manage anger and intense stress. These skills aim to reduce impulsive reactions and support calmer decision making.Another approach emphasizes short-term problem solving and behavioral changes. This involves defining clear goals, testing small behavioral shifts between sessions, and reviewing what works to improve mood, sleep, or daily routines. That practical focus helps when anxiety, depression, or ADHD symptoms interfere with day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent care while juggling family, work, or other responsibilities.
