Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Patricia Gillett integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and day-to-day coping.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with personal values. This approach often supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry, grief, or life transitions. Patricia also incorporates mindfulness-based strategies to build awareness and steadiness in the moment, which can help with emotional reactivity and managing ongoing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia collaborates with each client to clarify goals, identify what is most challenging right now, and choose tools that fit the client’s preferences and pace. Sessions and plans are individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during travel or life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
