Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Patrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts so clients can experiment with different responses and track real changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach he uses to help people accept difficult feelings and move toward values-based action rather than getting stuck in struggle. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in his work when relationship patterns and early bonds shape current worries; it helps name those patterns and try new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help identify which methods fit a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences. Sessions can mix approaches over time so the plan matches what’s helping and what needs more attention.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets most of the in-person interaction continue, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat supports brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep progress moving forward.
