About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Frueh is a Michigan psychologist who focuses on helping people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She brings a warm, respectful style to sessions and aims to make the therapy space easy to speak in. Dr. Frueh listens for strengths and resilience while helping clients tackle immediate problems and long-standing patterns.
With 28 years of experience she draws from a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral work to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness-based ideas and acceptance-focused strategies are woven into sessions to help with emotion regulation and coping.
Her practice also includes techniques informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills like distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. Solution-focused strategies are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress. Trauma-focused methods are available when needed to address effects of past harm.
Dr. Frueh often blends these approaches rather than sticking to a single method, and she adapts her style to the person in front of her. She helps people with parenting stress, relationship strain, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, addictions, mood disorders, and issues connected to identity and isolation.
People who choose her describe a collaborative pace where treatment plans are tailored and understandable. If someone wants to start, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and sleep struggles by shifting how someone responds to distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change patterns that keep problems going, useful for worry, low mood, and habits that affect sleep.The therapist will treat approach selection as a collaborative process. Together they will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions, then pick strategies that fit. That plan can change as progress is made, with regular check-ins to see what’s working.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can help people fit care into busy lives by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule short check-ins or longer sessions around work and family routines. It also allows consistent access to the same licensed professional when relocating within a region, and supports using mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and skills practice between sessions to reinforce change.
