How Patrick works
He also helps with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. His work includes supporting people who are dealing with trauma, relationship conflict, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and substance use challenges. In sessions he uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior ideas, existential thinking, and a client-centered stance.
That means he helps people notice what matters to them, try small behavior changes, and practice skills for emotion and impulse control. Conversations are collaborative and goal-focused rather than long lectures. Patrick emphasizes clear steps you can take between sessions.
He helps set simple goals, track progress, and adjust plans when life gets in the way. He also brings practical coaching for career decisions and parenting strain. People who prefer a calm, practical, and respectful style may find his approach helpful.

Online support options
Using ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by shifting focus toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and self-understanding.Picking the right approach is a shared process. Patrick will work together with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with skill-based CBT tools, adding ACT values work, or leaning into a client-centered conversation style depending on how things go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular momentum and fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines.
