About Patricia
Patricia describes her style as warm and interactive. She listens closely and adapts conversations to match each person's needs. Sessions are shaped around the concerns someone brings, whether that is parenting strain, grief, addiction, or work-related stress.
Her work draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered principles, and psychodynamic perspectives. Patricia also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult experiences and EMDR for trauma-related distress when appropriate. She tailors tools and exercises to the problem at hand rather than using the same plan for everyone.
People who come to Patricia can expect a collaborative process. She helps identify small, concrete steps and tracks progress over time. Patricia also attends to how past relationships and family history influence present worries.
Ultimately she aims to support people through change and toward clearer choices. If someone is ready to explore life changes, reduce anxiety, or work through trauma and related concerns, Patricia offers steady guidance and practical strategies.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Patricia uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validating feelings, and helping people find their own solutions, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and relationship worries. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete tools to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful patterns.She also incorporates EMDR for trauma-related processing when that is appropriate for a person. EMDR involves structured sets of recall and bilateral stimulation to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress. Combined with other approaches, these methods offer different ways to address trauma and its effects.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress unfolds. The choice of techniques is guided by what someone hopes to change and how they respond to early sessions.
