About Patricia
Patricia Kerigan M.S., LPC uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. She keeps sessions focused and practical so parents can quickly understand next steps. Patricia’s straightforward style aims to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills that fit day-to-day life.
She draws on 12 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of emotional concerns. That experience includes helping people who feel isolated, who struggle with guilt or shame, and those processing difficult life events.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with substance issues, domestic violence aftermath, and mood or personality-related struggles. Patricia pays attention to cultural background and to the unique challenges veterans may face. She listens for patterns in communication and relationship difficulty, then helps clients test small changes to improve interactions and emotional balance.
Sessions often focus on clearer thinking, better self-care, and practical steps to ease intense feelings. Her approach is collaborative. Clients can expect guided conversation, skills practice, and planning between sessions.
Patricia encourages realistic goals and checks in on progress so adjustments are simple and meaningful. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire and initial booking.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic - it teaches breathing and thinking strategies to reduce intense symptoms and improve daily function. Another approach targets trauma and emotional wounds by helping clients make sense of difficult memories and build new ways to cope with reminders and strong feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She will talk through goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans based on what actually helps. This keeps therapy collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps maintain progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving time while still working on stress, grief, or relationship patterns.
