About Patrick
Dr. Patrick McCain is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

How Patrick works
Sessions often include talking through patterns, learning coping skills, and practicing ways to respond differently to triggers. He draws on several approaches to tailor the work to each person’s needs. Dr.
McCain has a long background addressing substance use and trauma-related reactions. That experience informs how he helps people recognize triggers and reduce reactivity over time. He emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s values and choices during treatment.
People come to him for help with relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and recovery from abuse. He also works with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and with attention-related difficulties. He pays attention to both immediate coping and longer-term life changes.
In sessions he combines practical skill-building with reflective conversation. Some weeks focus on short coaching-style work and skill practice. Other times the work goes deeper into attachment, meaning, and emotional patterns.
He supports people through change at a pace that fits their life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-driven steps forward. It helps with anxiety, stress, and motivation by combining mindful awareness with practical actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy, parenting strain, and grief.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may shift over time from skills practice to deeper exploration depending on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth are needed. Live chat or messaging can support brief check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward personal goals.
