How Pat’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs conversational support to sort feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue care after relocation or when responding to ongoing responsibilities. Licensed professionals aim to match session length and rhythm to what works for the client.
