How Patricia’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction rather than just fewer symptoms.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways in relationships and supports trying different, healthier responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone options depending on what works best for them and their routine.
