Evidence-based techniques and how they fit online

Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and daily struggles. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding; these methods can help with anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Skills-based strategies teach practical tools for emotion regulation, stress management, and handling cravings related to addiction. These are helpful for day-to-day coping and for managing parenting or work stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you try methods that match your goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan based on results and what feels doable in everyday life.
