Practical Online Support, Grounded in Evidence-Based Approaches

Patricia Westwood draws from several well-established methods to help clients work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, addictions, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a supportive pace, helping people feel heard while they clarify what matters most and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and everyday behaviors, then practicing new skills that can make situations feel more manageable. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when feelings feel intense or relationships feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia collaborates with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors sessions to what feels most useful and sustainable over time.

Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support within a busy life. Clients can connect with their therapist through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in how and when care happens.
