Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into busy schedules and real life. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to help people feel heard and to guide each session by their concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.

Solution-Focused approaches set small goals and track progress between sessions. Patricia also works with parenting and family issues, self‑esteem, life changes, ADHD, and related concerns such as abandonment, codependency, and caregiver stress. She pulls from trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily functioning.

Her style is straightforward and calm. She aims to make therapy feel doable and relevant. Parents reading on a phone should know sessions are practical, paced to need, and focused on next steps they can try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy to build sessions around what each person brings. That means the conversation follows your priorities, and the therapist reflects what matters most so you feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot patterns in thinking that keep problems going and to try small behavior experiments to test new ways of coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. She adjusts plans as progress or needs change so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers several helpful options. Video calls let you meet face-to-face from wherever you are, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing things out feels easier than speaking. These formats increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care alongside a busy life.
