Patricia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her guiding approaches alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. She often talks through feelings and challenging thoughts, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Mindfulness strategies are woven into sessions to help with grounding and awareness.
Her work also addresses issues connected to abandonment, attachment wounds, and family of origin problems. Patricia assists people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions. She supports those experiencing panic attacks, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood changes.
Communication problems and forgiveness are common topics in her conversations. Patricia helps people name difficult emotions and practice new ways of responding. She pays attention to how past relationships affect present behavior and feelings.
People who see Patricia can expect straightforward, talk-based sessions that focus on emotions and interaction patterns. She aims to help clients build clearer self-awareness and more manageable ways to cope with distress. The work is paced according to each person's needs and goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and interactional patterns. It can help people name feelings that are hard to describe and practice new ways of responding to emotional triggers.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and expectations. This approach is useful for addressing abandonment concerns, attachment wounds, and recurring communication problems.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the person's own concerns and pace. It supports self-exploration and helps people clarify their goals for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can evolve as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. It also lets people use audio-only options when bandwidth or energy is limited. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about practical arrangements and what will work best for scheduling and session length.
