Therapeutic approaches for online work and coping
Patsy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and decisions that feel stuck.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed worry and to build new habits. CBT typically involves tracking thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patsy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She sees therapy as a team process where adjustments are made over time.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, make it easier to check in during a break, or allow for shorter follow-ups when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions, helping people practice skills between meetings.
