Therapeutic approaches and online support
Patience integrates evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs and goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and emotions, and take practical steps toward a meaningful life - it is often helpful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning new skills to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and a nonjudgemental space to explore identity, relationships and emotional concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patience works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their preferences, goals and circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy with Patience is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, travel constraints and international access. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with registered professionals and therapists who adapt methods for remote delivery.
