How Mindfulness, Client-Centered Work, and CBT Help Online

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices. It helps people notice thoughts and strong feelings without getting swept away, which can reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and following the person's priorities; it helps people clarify values and make decisions that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Patricia will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness exercises in session, practicing CBT skills between meetings, or using a client-centered conversation to map next steps.
