Approaches that guide online sessions
Patrick blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to make online sessions practical and focused. Client-centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's pace so conversations feel relevant and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress when feelings run high. Each approach is introduced collaboratively so therapist and client decide together what fits best. That decision is revisited as goals evolve and progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or parenting responsibilities. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in without video, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick reflections or timely skill practice. These formats make it easier to use therapy tools between sessions and to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
