How Patty's Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters, even when emotions feel overwhelming. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Patty collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and pace. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and goal-directed.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit a shorter window or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule consistent care while keeping therapy focused on real-life steps and skills.
