About Patrick
Patrick Turpin is an Iowa licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. He focuses on practical steps for coping with life changes and on questions of forgiveness and life purpose.

The work often blends emotional processing with skills practice aimed at steadier mood and clearer decision making.
Patrick describes his role as collaborative. He and the client set goals together, track progress, and adjust approaches when something isn’t working. He also addresses values and life-purpose questions for people who want therapy that includes meaning and forgiveness work.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions
Patrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and emotional processing. One common approach is behavioral skills training, which breaks distressing patterns into manageable steps and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and improve daily coping. This helps when symptoms are interfering with work, sleep, or relationships.Another key element is trauma-focused processing, which involves reviewing past experiences in a paced way and building strategies to reduce their current impact. That work aims to reduce reactivity and help people make different choices when old patterns arise.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they test approaches and adjust based on what feels useful and achievable.
Confirm the session formats before booking to know which remote options are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins between busy days, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a routine. It also lets therapists coach skills in real-life contexts, for example practicing coping strategies between sessions.
