About Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience, Patrick Currie focuses on anxiety, stress, addictions, depression, and life transitions using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. Patrick helps people who are coping with relationship strain, grief, anger, career concerns, and questions about life purpose. Sessions emphasize practical skills people can use between meetings and straightforward conversation about what’s getting in the way.
Patrick trained first in psychology and then earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. Early work on an inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit shaped his interest in trauma, abuse, and relapse prevention. He has provided individual counseling in clinical, educational, and correctional settings and led workshops on stress management, healthy choices, and anger management.
In outpatient work he addresses a wide range of concerns including substance use, bipolar mood challenges, young adult issues, and multicultural stresses. He also works with people managing family of origin problems, midlife transitions, and financial or career decisions. Patrick uses mindful awareness and cognitive tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
His approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions mix conversation, skill teaching, and exercises to practice between meetings. He pays attention to cultural background and LGBT concerns while respecting each person’s values.
People can expect clear discussion of goals and concrete steps to work toward them. Patrick emphasizes building resilience, increasing acceptance, and taking effective action that fits real life.

How ACT, CBT and client-centered work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then choose actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, addictions, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting a person’s own problem-solving so they can clarify goals and make steady progress.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, prior experience, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as needs evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. Therapists use the same ACT, CBT, and client-centered tools in virtual meetings as they do in person, with exercises and between-session practice that fit into everyday life.
