CBT, client-centered care, and DBT skills for online therapy

Patricia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that target everyday problems.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the person's concerns and priorities while the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, giving people step-by-step tools to manage strong feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions and skill practice, phone can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and reminders. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, school, or caregiving demands while keeping therapy focused on concrete tools and steps.
