How Patti’s Approaches Fit Online Work

Patti often combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused techniques. Client-centered work centers on listening and helping people name what matters to them, which can lead to clearer goals and better decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and introduces practical exercises people can practice between sessions. Trauma-focused methods focus on understanding how past harm affects current reactions and on building coping strategies for emotional and physical responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patti will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. She encourages small, testable changes and regular check-ins so the plan fits the person’s life and priorities.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills at home and bring real-life situations into conversations during the appointment.
