Therapeutic approaches and online care
Patrick uses a person-centered foundation to guide online work, focusing on listening and building a practical plan that fits each person's life. Client-Centered Therapy involves attending to the person's experience and helping them feel understood, which supports progress on many concerns including stress and relationship struggles.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is used to teach concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with anxiety, anger, and relationship patterns when emotional reactions feel overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing is a short, conversation-based approach that helps people find their own reasons for change and build steps they feel ready to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, based on the person's goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and goals so sessions can be arranged to match your needs.
