More about Patrick

  • 20 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

Hi, I'm Patrick, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with over 25 years of experience helping people in various settings. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Widener University with a focus on behavioral medicine and health psychology, learning the amazing ways in which we can improve or regain health and wellness using the power of the mind. Then, while working on an inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit, I witnessed the damaging effects of trauma, abuse and neglect and so I returned to school at Temple University and earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology to be better equipped to help others deal with life's many challenges.

I have worked in clinical, educational and correctional facilities providing individual counseling, conducting workshops and seminars on stress management, making healthy choices and other topics, as well as running psycho-educational group programs for violence prevention, drug abuse prevention, relapse prevention and anger management. I have continued to provide outpatient therapy addressing a number of issues - anxiety, depression, substance abuse, grief and loss, work and career problems, relationship issues, life transitions and more. No matter what type of challenges you are facing, I believe we all have the capacity to improve ourselves and live more authentic, healthy and fulfilling lives.

Success in any endeavor is a process of developing awareness, gaining acceptance and taking effective action. My style is supportive and empowering, using elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and positive psychology to educate and inspire others to master these skills. I take a holistic approach to counseling, looking at every aspect of a person's life to identify strengths, build resiliency and encourage growth. I am also sensitive to the needs and challenges of individuals from different groups, including racial, cultural, LGBT, differently abled or other. I respect the values and experiences of my clients and I aspire to see the world from their perspective as we work towards the life they want to live.

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Patrick listens to others in a unique way that separates him from other therapists. Instead of just listening and nodding his head, Patrick offers encouraging advice and important insight. He has a way to use his own experiences to understand your experience, and to help you understand why things are the way they are or why they could be a certain way.

I like working with Patrick. He understands my concerns and we are actively working on ways to control my anxiety.

Reviewed November 2022

Finding the right therapist is always a challenge. What works for me may not work for you, but for me Patrick is a really good choice. He listens well and is engaged, and has lots of suggestions for me. He is an active therapist, by which I mean that he gives suggestions of strategies to work on whatever I'm talking about, shares anecdotes from his own life that relate to what I'm talking about, offers his summary if I'm rambling, and if I don't agree with his summary it's fine, it's just a jumping off point anyway... I guess my point is that if you want someone who will listen supportively but not say much, then you need someone else. But if you want someone who gets right there in the fray with you, and actively helps you figure out how to handle your hurdles, then I'd say give Patrick a try.

Reviewed March 2022

Patrick is a fantastic listener. Specifically when I talk-through a situation in monologue format, or struggle to stay on topic; Patrick is always following along, guiding me through the issue. As a person who often feels misunderstood, Patrick does a wonderful job of making me feel heard.

Reviewed January 2022

Patrick is the reason I rave about therapy and the reason I've encouraged many friends to try therapy if they haven't already! Patrick is incredibly helpful, intuitive & knowledgeable. He's helped me gain emotional maturity and has had wildly practical and helpful responses to just about everything I've thrown at him, always able to pull concepts together in deep and meaningful ways. It's really quite remarkable to be able to share a difficult experience I may be going through and not only have him understand where I'm coming from in concise and pinpointed ways due to a great memory of our past discussions but he often is also able to point out something I had completely missed. It's been incredibly helpful for my own self-discovery and understanding my own cycles, and for getting to the root causes of many issues & mental states. Thanks, Patrick!

I have been counseling with Patrick for over 2 years. I've had much to work through in many overlapping areas. Patrick is a great listener & offers much feedback & just the right amount of tools & suggestions to allow me to make significant strides, one step & one day at a time.

I have been attending sessions with Patrick for a little over 2 years now (with some breaks in between because life happened). The fact that it has been 2 years should speak for itself. He is flexible and always very responsive. He is very compassionate, never makes you feel like your being judged, listens to you in detail and remembers EVERYTHING you tell him, even if you wish he didn’t. He will relate situations you are in to his own life to remind you, you are not as strange as think you are. He is very knowledgeable about anything you throw at him and he is funny! We never go through a session without laughing. I got paired with Patrick by chance. But I couldn’t be more grateful for him and for Better Help!
