How Patricia’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, and to clarify personal values to guide choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, worry, or low mood. It’s often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression because it teaches concrete skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video lets people practice skills face-to-face, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy weeks and life transitions.
