Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Patrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful behavior patterns and thought habits. This involves tracking triggers, practicing different responses in session, and applying those skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and anger.Another approach emphasizes working through trauma-related symptoms with structured, stepwise methods. This involves gradual exposure to difficult memories, learning grounding and regulation skills, and building tolerance for distress. It can be useful for people managing post-traumatic stress and severe anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist reviews background, current goals, and what has or has not helped before. Together they adjust methods over time to find the best fit for the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and joining from different locations when travel is difficult. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when that better fits a daily schedule. Ask about specific session options during the matching process before scheduling.
