Trish often focuses on parenting concerns, commitment and control issues, body image, and coping after illness or disaster. She has experience with compassion fatigue and isolation or loneliness.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that influence feelings and actions, then tests alternate thinking and behavior through practical exercises. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and build on what is already working in a person's life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She discusses your goals and preferences and picks techniques that fit those aims. Over the first few meetings she reviews what helps and adjusts the plan together based on your feedback.
