About Patricia
Patricia McCullough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with nearly four decades of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Patricia aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and calm support.
She uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Conversations are tailored to the person's situation, with clear steps and coping strategies. Patricia helps people build skills for managing worry, facing painful memories, and reducing harmful patterns like substance use.
Background and approach
Her work blends supportive listening with goal-focused tools. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going, learning new ways to cope, and repairing strained relationships where attachment issues come into play. EMDR may be used when past events continue to cause distress.
Patricia draws on 39 years of practice to adjust pace and technique for each person. She encourages small, manageable changes that fit into daily life. The approach is collaborative - the person and Patricia shape the plan together.
Sessions aim to increase confidence, reduce overwhelm, and improve day-to-day functioning. Patricia emphasizes practical steps and steady progress. She offers telephone, video, chat, and messaging options to make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this often means looking at how connection and trust affect mood, anxiety, and close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits that interfere with daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method some therapists use to process distressing memories so they have less emotional charge; it can help when past events continue to cause anxiety or avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and pace. That means checking in regularly and adjusting techniques as needed so sessions stay useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls let you have face-to-face conversations from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity, fit sessions into a busy week, and try different formats to see what helps most.
