Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Therapy

Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client leads the pace of change and the therapist listens attentively to understand the person behind the problems. This approach helps with issues like low self esteem, relationship concerns, and the emotional impacts of grief by focusing on empathy, validation, and the client’s own goals.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when practical, offering structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and patterns linked to addictions or obsessive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work Patricia does with each person. She will discuss options, adapt methods to fit a client’s needs and preferences, and review progress together to ensure the chosen strategies are helping. The practical benefits of online therapy include flexible scheduling and easy access to sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it simpler to maintain consistency and receive support from wherever the client is located.
