About Patrick
Patrick Currie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with about 20 years of professional experience. He brings a calm, practical presence and focuses on helping people regain balance when life feels overwhelming. Patrick often works with concerns like stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, and money and financial issues.
He trained in psychology and counseling and spent time on an inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit early in his career. That work shaped his interest in trauma, abuse, and recovery, and led him to support people facing major life changes and grief.
Patrick has provided counseling in clinical, educational, and correctional settings. He has run workshops and groups on stress management, healthy choices, anger management, relapse prevention, and violence prevention. He also continues outpatient work addressing substance use, career and work problems, and mood concerns.
His counseling style is supportive and empowering. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice patterns, accept what they can’t change, and take workable steps forward.
Patrick takes a whole-life view when helping people. He looks for strengths, builds resiliency, and pays attention to cultural and identity factors, including LGBT and multicultural concerns. He aims to understand each person’s values and helps them move toward the life they want to live.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when feelings are difficult. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and decisions about career or money. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan matches what the person wants to accomplish. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during work or life changes while still using evidence-informed approaches such as ACT and CBT.Areas of focus
