Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Patricia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a client-centered stance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and struggles with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current connections and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That exploration can start in early sessions and shift as progress and priorities change.
If you are considering online work, confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work or family schedules, reduce commute time, and offer a way to stay consistent during busy or transitional periods. They also allow options like shorter check-ins when time is tight and phone-only conversations when video is difficult. Ask about the available session types so you can pick what works best for your routine and needs.
