He also supports people facing communication problems, questions about life purpose, and challenges common to young adults and men.

Sessions tend to focus on understanding thoughts and values, building coping skills, and setting steps that fit each person’s daily life.
Background and approach
He has five years of experience working in residential and outpatient settings for substance use, and he has worked with adolescents and adults across a range of issues. Much of his background includes addiction care, mood disorders, trauma, and situations involving suicidal thinking. Patrick describes therapy as a place for clarity and steady growth.
He pays attention to the small changes that add up over time and helps people name what matters to them. He also has experience supporting people in the LGBT community. Outside of work he reads widely and enjoys video games.
That balance helps him stay curious about how people live their everyday lives and what practical steps help them move forward.
Approaches and online session options
Patrick often draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. These methods help with anxiety, mood concerns, and the habits that keep stress high.He also uses skills from dialectical approaches that emphasize emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful for managing strong emotions and improving everyday interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of how he works. He collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust plans based on goals and what feels helpful. That process includes checking progress and trying different tools until a good fit is found.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a low-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions and maintain momentum when time or location get in the way. These formats make it easier to keep consistent work on anxiety, addiction recovery, and mood goals while fitting therapy into daily life.
