Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Patricia draws on client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and solution-focused methods to support people and couples online. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, helping individuals explore their own priorities and build on personal strengths to address issues like stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and attachment patterns within relationships, making it useful for couples work, intimacy concerns, and communication problems. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes, helping people set clear goals and identify effective strategies for problems such as anxiety, parenting challenges, or coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively to find the best fit based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together with the client or couple, she adapts methods as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered by registered professionals and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere and to continue therapy around other responsibilities.
