Approaches that guide online sessions
Patricia often blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client's priorities, which helps people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and introduces practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines.She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to support goal setting and small measurable steps. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, and solution-focused strategies highlight strengths and quick actions that produce useful progress. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process and will be decided together based on your needs and goals.
