Evidence-Based Care, Adapted for Online Therapy
Patricia Whatley draws from practical, research-informed approaches that translate well to online sessions, especially for concerns like anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and learning skills to respond in more helpful ways. It can be useful when worry, low mood, or self-criticism starts to affect daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult emotions while reconnecting with personal values, helping them take meaningful steps even when life feels heavy or uncertain. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes building present-moment awareness, which can strengthen emotional regulation and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia works collaboratively with clients to understand goals and preferences, then adjusts the focus and tools over time so therapy feels relevant and supportive.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and stay connected across the week in a way that matches each client’s needs.
