How trauma-focused and skills-based approaches work online

Patricia uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core ways to help people process painful events and move toward healing. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps identify how past events affect present reactions and supports gradual work through difficult memories. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and meeting a person where they are to build trust and clarify goals.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that people can apply between sessions. These approaches combine exploration of past experiences with practical tools for day-to-day coping. Patricia will work collaboratively to find the best mix based on each person’s needs and goals.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make some skill-practice and homework easier to integrate into daily routines. When ready, use the site matching steps to identify scheduling and format details with the therapist.
