Online support
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Patricia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and habits, helping people understand why they react the way they do. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She checks in and adjusts strategies as people try them out between sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and role practice. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when written reflection feels easier. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving demands, or varied energy levels, while keeping care focused and practical.
