Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Patricia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify patterns in emotional responses and how those patterns affect close relationships. This approach helps people notice emotions and learn new ways to respond when tensions rise.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice small, concrete changes. The Gottman Method contributes communication tools and structured exercises aimed at improving everyday interactions and reducing recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then shape sessions to fit your needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them over time.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls let the therapist and client see expressions and body language during emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be used for check-ins when a shorter conversation is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share quick updates, practice communication skills, or get brief support between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
