How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach teaches coping and relaxation skills for anxiety and panic. These are practical exercises people can practice between sessions to reduce immediate symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral experiments for addictions and life changes. This involves setting small, measurable goals, testing changes in daily routines, and reviewing what works. These methods help people track progress and adjust strategies over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable in their life. She checks in and adjusts methods as needed based on progress and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current options before booking.
