Approaches for online care and how they help
Patricia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change struggling patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try strategies that fit those needs. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adjusts methods based on how things are working.
