Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who feel torn about change or stuck in cycles. Patricia often meets people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, or stress from life changes. She also supports concerns around addiction, relationship strain, intimacy, and sexuality.
ADHD and work-related struggles are included among the issues she addresses. Her style shifts to match each person. She can be active and direct when a clear plan is needed.
She can also be quiet and steady when someone needs space to process painful memories. Many clients come after difficult experiences such as neglect or abuse that left them feeling confused or repeating harmful patterns. Patricia helps people name those patterns and try practical ways to change them.
The focus is on creating a healthier, more satisfying present and future.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust, allowing the therapist to follow your lead and respond with empathy and understanding. This approach helps people who need a calmer space to talk through feelings and figure out what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns linked to ADHD or work difficulties.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel uncertain about change. It uses questions and reflection to build motivation and small, doable steps toward goals, which can be useful for addictions or when someone feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for quick updates, brief coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life.
