About Patrick

Patrick Russell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in New York with 25 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, men’s issues, money and financial issues, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and workplace issues.

Russell works from the view that each person knows their story best. He listens for strengths and practical options a person can use right away. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He uses methods that encourage reflection and concrete change.

He draws on client-centered work to build a respectful working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are taught to help manage stress and reduce reactivity.

Motivational Interviewing is also part of his approach when people want to make life changes but feel unsure where to start. That method focuses on clarifying goals and strengthening personal motivation for change.

In sessions he helps people talk through difficult moments and practice small, manageable steps. He aims to make conversations direct and practical. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most to them, which can help with stress and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into practical parts to work on. Online CBT sessions can include short exercises, homework, and step-by-step techniques for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions. These techniques can be practiced during or between online meetings to support day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and specific challenges and then recommend which methods to try. Plans are adjusted as needed based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Discuss session length and frequency during the first meeting to find a workable plan.
