How Patricia uses evidence-based approaches online
Patricia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-world practice. One common approach she uses is brief skills training that teaches breathing, grounding, and thought-challenging techniques to reduce the immediate intensity of anxiety and panic. These tools are explained in simple steps and practiced during sessions so people can use them on their own between meetings.She also integrates trauma-informed strategies that help people process difficult memories and reactions at a manageable pace. This involves pacing the work, building safety with small exercises, and developing ways to manage strong emotions when they come up. These strategies are intended to reduce avoidance and increase daily functioning over time.
Deciding which methods to try is a collaborative process. Patricia will review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. She involves the person in choosing which exercises to practice between sessions so therapy fits into day-to-day life.
The profile indicates all sessions are held virtually, but confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions fit around school, work, or caregiving. If a quieter or less visually demanding option would help, discuss that when you schedule so session length and format match your needs.
