Background and approach
Patrick emphasizes small steps that can fit into a busy life. His background includes work with people facing abandonment issues, divorce and separation, midlife concerns, and problems related to aging. He also supports those coping with guilt, low motivation, dependent personality traits, and struggles tied to military service.
Addictions he addresses include substance use and process behaviors such as gambling or problematic pornography and exercise habits. Patrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. He explains ideas in everyday terms and collaborates on a plan that feels doable.
The aim is to reduce overwhelm, clarify goals, and build skills to handle stress and hard emotions. People who connect with him can expect steady, practical guidance and a companionable approach to problem solving. He encourages realistic goals and checks progress along the way.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Patrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill-building to manage anxiety and stress through short exercises and clear behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach centers on working through grief and addiction by identifying triggers, building coping skills, and developing routines that reduce harmful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods collaboratively, and adjust plans based on your goals and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the issues you bring and to how you prefer to work.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins or short coaching-style exchanges. These formats help people fit therapy into busy days and keep continuity when schedules change.
