About Patricia
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep unhelpful thoughts and behaviours in place.
Patricia uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. That can include cognitive behavioural techniques to change stressful thinking, mindfulness practices to manage strong emotions, and narrative ideas to help reframe difficult stories. She also uses principles from the Gottman Method around communication and relationship habits when these are relevant.
People often come with concerns about control, codependency or the effects of past family dynamics. Patricia helps clients name what matters and set achievable goals for change. She aims to create a calm, respectful space for honest conversation and steady progress.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Patricia works from Australia and asks people to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Patricia commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness therapy emphasises present-moment awareness and simple techniques to reduce stress and manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines techniques and adapts them as therapy progresses so the work matches what matters most to the client.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
