Everything Patrick lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Patrick's practice.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Two evidence-based approaches Patrick commonly uses are skills training and trauma-informed work. Skills training teaches practical techniques for managing anger, anxiety, and cravings so people have tools to use during stressful moments. Trauma-informed work focuses on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions and on building steadier responses over time.He also emphasizes motivation-focused strategies to support people facing substance use challenges. These methods help clarify personal goals and strengthen commitment to change in manageable steps. The therapist frames these techniques in plain language and helps clients try them between sessions to see what fits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrick will talk through options, test what seems helpful, and adjust methods based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor work to each person's pace and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and learning new skills, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, live chat and messaging make it easier to keep progress going between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
