About Patricia
Patricia Curran is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 36 years of experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, grief, or major life changes and prefers straightforward, practical conversations. Her approach aims to help clients find clearer choices and day-to-day coping skills.
Patricia combines methods rather than relying on a single system. She draws from client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that get in the way. Sessions tend to focus on specific goals and small, manageable steps. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or stuck in old habits.
Solution-focused techniques keep conversations oriented toward what will make tomorrow better than today. She has worked in outpatient, inpatient, and confinement settings, which has exposed her to many practical problems people face. That breadth of experience informs how she supports people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, caregiving stress, end-of-life concerns, and career questions.
People seeking help for anger, self-esteem, trauma, or compassion fatigue will find a therapist who listens and works collaboratively. Patricia aims to help clients notice their own strengths, try small experiments, and build routines that support a clearer, steadier life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist provides a supportive environment and helps people clarify their values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, structured skill practice, or a mix of techniques to match current needs.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or check in during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment schedules while keeping a steady therapeutic routine.
