About Patrick
Patrick Currie is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings two decades of clinical work to each conversation. He focuses on practical steps people can use to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and navigate major life changes. Patrick aims to create a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk through concerns and try new ways of coping.
He combines evidence-based methods with a person-centered stance. That means sessions center on the client's goals and experiences while using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) concepts are woven in to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Patrick's background spans inpatient adolescent psychiatry, correctional settings, schools, and outpatient practice. He has run group programs on anger management, relapse prevention, violence prevention, and stress management.
This variety gives him experience with addiction, trauma, grief, career difficulties, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar-related challenges. He also pays attention to cultural and identity factors, including LGBT and multicultural concerns. That perspective helps when addressing family of origin issues, life purpose, midlife transitions, young adult struggles, and money or career stress.
Patrick uses a holistic view to find practical strengths to build on. Sessions aim to increase awareness, acceptance, and effective action. Patrick supports clients through realistic steps, skill practice, and coaching toward clearer goals.
He works from Pennsylvania and uses straightforward language so busy people can apply what they learn right away.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Patrick uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on actions that match personal priorities.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress through practice and skill building.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrick works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they track progress and adjust methods as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, journaling prompts, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
