How her approaches fit online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities, using open conversation so the client sets the agenda. It helps with feelings of being lost after a big change and with sorting priorities during early adulthood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and overwhelming stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help when strong feelings or relationship conflicts make everyday life harder.
Patricia treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods over time so the work fits what the person needs and wants.
