Evidence-based approaches and online care for parenting and relationships
Patxi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach emphasizes improving communication and problem-solving skills to reduce recurring conflict in relationships and family life. These practical exercises help people notice patterns and try small changes in how they speak and listen.Another approach focuses on managing strong emotions like anger and working through guilt and shame. This involves learning strategies to pause before reacting, naming difficult feelings, and practicing alternative responses so stressors feel more manageable during parenting or in tense interactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patxi will collaborate with clients to pick methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as people try things and give feedback.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when interaction matters. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting are useful for quick reflections, brief updates, or when scheduling makes longer conversations harder to fit in. These options offer flexibility for parents and busy people to fit therapy into daily life.
