These methods are used to address concerns like self-esteem, career stress, grief, and addiction. She has experience helping people with family of origin issues, forgiveness, life purpose, and multicultural concerns. She also supports clients facing seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, and young adult transitions. Veteran and armed forces issues are included among her focus areas.

Her goal is to help people feel more capable and more connected to what matters in their lives.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to change thinking patterns and daily routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to get rid of them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. This approach supports people dealing with uncertainty, life changes, and chronic worries.

Patrice treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first, then adjust as work progresses so the plan fits the person's life.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
