When needed, she addresses patterns such as codependency, communication problems, and blended family tensions. Patricia also works with people dealing with divorce, loss, or major life disruptions.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's needs. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide on goals and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new behaviors for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal communication. These skills are useful for managing strong emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on skill practice, thought work, mindfulness, or relationship strategies.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or help when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and quick skill practice during the day. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and school schedules while keeping steady progress.
