He focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, sobriety concerns, grief, and ADHD-related challenges.

Patrick approaches each person as an individual. He listens first, then tailors a plan that fits a person's situation and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and goal-minded, with tools and steps people can try between meetings. He uses a mix of well-established methods to match what the client needs. That can include skills to manage strong emotions, tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns, and ways to build motivation and focus.
He blends these approaches rather than relying on a single method. Patrick works with issues that often overlap, such as relationship struggles, career stress, addiction, trauma, and the strain of caregiving. He also supports people facing big life changes and identity or intimacy-related concerns.
He aims to help people find clearer choices and small wins that add up over time. People meet him in a respectful, nonjudgmental setting. He emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while keeping the work practical.
Patrick encourages clients to take the first step and supports them as they try new strategies and make changes.
Approach and online options for practical care
Patrick uses Client-Centered Therapy to start by listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person cares about most. This approach helps people feel heard and creates a foundation for setting goals and choosing useful next steps.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges because it breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches clear tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patrick will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's life. He treats this as a collaboration and checks in regularly to adjust techniques based on how they are working.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can choose the format that best supports consistent progress.
