Approaches that translate to online care
Patricia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice thought and behavior patterns and try practical changes. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to lower stress and help people respond more calmly to triggers.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are uncertain about change. That approach uses gentle questions to clarify values and strengthen motivation. Patricia approaches therapy as a collaboration - she will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth discussion, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit a quick check-in or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats support flexible scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using the approaches above to address anger, stress, addictions, and related concerns.
