Approaches and online options for practical parenting support
Patricia often combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and build skills. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client's concerns so the person feels heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches tools to test and change those patterns.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel intense or overwhelming. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong feelings, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress without acting on impulses. These approaches are useful for mood concerns, stress, parenting worries, and substance use challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each person to identify goals and then suggests strategies to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online work is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick questions, brief check-ins, or when typed communication feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied routines.
