Online support

How therapy approaches are used online

Patricia often uses the Gottman Method to look at communication patterns and small interaction habits that affect relationships. This approach focuses on practical exercises and skills people can practice between sessions to improve how they talk and connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression and to test new behaviors that reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together the client and therapist choose techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made, so treatment stays aligned with real needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make consistent therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for exercises and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat enables shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules and daily routines.
