He focuses on practical skills that people can use between sessions. That might include strategies for managing worry, improving sleep, coping with grief, or addressing substance use. Patrick also offers coaching around career decisions and parenting challenges when those issues come up.

Background and approach

Client-centered work guides sessions so the person sets the pace and priorities. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Patrick aims to make each meeting clear and useful, with simple practices to try between visits.

He respects each person’s values and works to reduce shame and self-blame. People working with him often focus on immediate coping and longer-term change at the same time.

Approaches Patrick names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control behavior. It emphasizes values-based choices and small steps toward a life someone cares about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person, using empathy and respect to support self-directed change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrick will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together the therapist and client try approaches, adjust as needed, and focus on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and quick problem-solving between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice skills in the moments they are needed.
