How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Patricia "Patsy" Holden uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she relies on helps people identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer, calmer responses; this approach is useful for anxiety, panic, and depression. Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to feared situations and building coping steps, which can be helpful for panic and post-traumatic stress symptoms.Patsy treats the choice of method as a shared decision. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, explain what a given technique involves, and try an approach together. Adjustments are made based on how a person responds so the plan stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change. It can reduce travel time and let people meet from wherever they are living, while still focusing on the same skills and goals as in-person work. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the available session options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
