How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early attachment experiences shape current needs and reactions; it can help with intimacy, trust and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss different methods and tailor a plan based on goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That means the choice of tools evolves as people try things and give feedback, rather than being fixed from the start.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or medical commitments, remove travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter times or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals can use the same therapeutic approaches remotely, and Patricia adapts exercises and dialogues to suit an online setting.
