Background and approach
Her sessions are geared toward clear goals. She uses client-centered conversations to understand each person’s values and needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused tools are used to develop coping skills and short-term plans. Patricia works with a wide range of concerns including relationships, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career pressure, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and readiness for life changes. She also helps people dealing with blended family issues, infidelity, divorce and family of origin matters.
Sessions are meant to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Patricia aims to help people notice what’s working, try small changes, and track progress over time. Her approach combines practical steps with steady listening so clients leave with usable tools and clearer next steps.

Approach and online options that fit your life
Patricia uses client-centered work to focus on each person’s priorities and values, helping people feel heard while shaping goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and to build practical habits that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop simple awareness skills to manage strong emotions and stay grounded during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Patricia will talk with a person about their goals, test methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. She aims to match techniques to individual needs so progress is steady and understandable rather than vague or forced.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into work, family, and daily life. Video works well for a traditional session feel. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth or no camera is needed. Live chat and text allow for brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or quick strategy work on a busy day. These choices make it easier to maintain momentum and practice new skills without rearranging a whole schedule.
