How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out different behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and mood problems. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people name emotions and change how they interact, which can help with communication and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will explain options and adjust the plan as progress is made so the approach stays practical and purposeful.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid commuting. Licensed professionals can use conversational, exercise-based, and skills-focused sessions over virtual appointments when those formats are supported by the therapist. Ask about the specific session types available when you schedule.
