How client-centered and skills-based therapy work online
Patricia blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior therapy skills to support online care. Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's experience and goals; sessions start with listening and building a collaborative plan. Cognitive behavioral work looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions and uses exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage strong feelings and impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Patricia will talk with each person about their needs, preferences, and goals and then recommend a mix of methods. That plan can change as progress is reviewed, so therapy stays practical and focused on what helps most.
Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
