About Patricia
She uses a collaborative, patient-centered style. Sessions are built around what a person identifies as most important. Patricia listens, asks practical questions, and helps shape small, doable steps forward.
Her clinical background blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address intense emotions, unhelpful thinking, and motivation barriers. Treatment plans are individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.
Patricia has experience with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, trauma and abuse, chronic health challenges, caregiving stress, and issues that affect intimacy and communication. She also supports people dealing with career strain, sleeping and eating problems, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she emphasizes respect, patience, and practical tools. The goal is to help clients find clearer priorities, reduce overwhelming reactions, and build sustainable coping skills. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility
Patricia integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches in ways that are easy to understand. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical ways to change behaviors and reactions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build confidence and self-direction.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Patricia collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what is not.
The therapist’s biography did not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered. Many people find online appointments make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow a shorter check-in during a work break. If you prefer certain session logistics, note them when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect your needs.
