Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Patricia Schofield

Patricia integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking values-driven action - it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns, which is useful for relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment where the clientâs own goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to identify methods that match each personâs needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide additional options for connection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access therapists when in-person visits are not feasible, while maintaining regular, goal-focused care.
