Mindfulness practices are added when slowing down and noticing the present moment will help manage stress or panic.

How Patrice’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person first. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's priorities to help them find their own answers. This approach helps with building trust, self-esteem, and clearer direction in times of loss or change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises to identify distorted thinking and then tests new, more helpful ways of thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and problems that repeat over time.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment and calm intense reactions. Short breathing or attention practices can reduce stress and make it easier to manage anger, panic, or sleeplessness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress occurs.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in quickly, do brief problem-solving, or get a short reflective exchange between full sessions. These options help fit therapy into real life and keep momentum moving forward.
