Evidence-based approaches and online support
Patsy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach she draws on helps people process strong emotions and traumatic memories by breaking problems into manageable steps and teaching coping skills for distress and day-to-day triggers. This method is helpful for trauma, grief, and anger issues.Another approach focuses on practical problem solving and behavior change. It emphasizes small, realistic goals, skill rehearsal, and clearer routines to reduce anxiety, manage stress, or address addictive behaviors. This style can be useful for parenting concerns, caregiving stress, and ADHD-related challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Patsy works collaboratively with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single method. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Practically minded people often appreciate that remote sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving responsibilities and still allow focused, structured therapeutic work.
