How her approaches translate to online sessions
Tricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include setting clear goals, practicing skills between meetings, and tracking progress in simple ways.She also draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person’s priorities and pacing, and emotionally-focused techniques that look at relationship patterns and strong feelings. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and choosing what matters most, while emotionally-focused work looks at how people respond to strong emotions in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals, history, and preferences. That process may include trying a short CBT exercise, using mindfulness tools, or focusing on problem solving for a practical concern.
Confirm the current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistent appointments and apply skills in everyday life.
