Approaches that guide online sessions

Patrick practices primarily using Client-Centered Therapy and Existential Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathic listening and nonjudgmental support so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and build self-understanding - it is useful for stress, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general life transitions.

Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, values, and personal responsibility in their lives; it can be particularly helpful for those facing life transitions, questions about purpose, midlife concerns, or isolation and loneliness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and registered professionals like Patrick work collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they can adapt methods over time to suit changing circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect across distances. These options support consistent work on goals and make it possible for people, including international clients, to engage with therapists from their own environments.
