About Patrick
Patrick Argiro uses straightforward, practical approaches to help adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, anger, or ongoing stress. He keeps sessions down-to-earth and focused on small changes that add up. Patrick is an LPC and an LCPC and brings six years of clinical experience to his work.
He often meets people who look fine on the outside but feel burned out or stuck inside. Patrick helps them identify what drains energy and build skills to manage strong emotions and recurring worry.
How Patrick works
Sessions include talking through problems, learning concrete strategies, and practicing new ways to cope. Patrick blends client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Emotionally-Focused and Existential ideas help when people want to look at relationship patterns or life meaning. His focus covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, attachment or personality-related struggles, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems.
Patrick practices in Idaho as an LPC, and holds an LCPC. He works with people who prefer sessions online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective to build trust and clarity. Online sessions use that same attitude to help clients feel heard and choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thought patterns and test new behaviors through practical exercises; over video or messaging it can include homework, thought records, and skill practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be taught and practiced in shorter phone or text check-ins as well as video sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting techniques and pacing to what feels useful and achievable for the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper skills practice. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send brief updates, try short coaching between sessions, or manage a quick emotional check-in during a busy day.
