About Patrick

Patrick Currie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with two decades of clinical experience. He centers his work on the person in front of him and aims to help people regain balance. Patrick uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises to tackle anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions.

He studied psychology at Widener University with an emphasis on behavioral medicine and health psychology. That background led him to value the connection between thoughts, habits, and health. After time on an inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit, he earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Temple University to better support people harmed by trauma and neglect.

Patrick has worked across clinical, educational, and correctional settings. He has provided individual counseling, led stress-management workshops, and run group programs for anger management, relapse prevention, and violence prevention. More recently his practice has focused on outpatient therapy for issues such as grief, relationship problems, career questions, and bipolar disorder.

His style is supportive and empowering. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice patterns, accept difficult feelings, and take manageable action. Sessions aim to identify strengths, build resiliency, and set concrete steps toward goals.

Patrick pays attention to cultural and identity differences and works to understand each person’s perspective. People seeking help for stress, addictions, LGBT concerns, midlife questions, money issues, or young adult challenges may find his practical, steady approach useful.

How client-centered and evidence-based approaches translate online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood while they decide what matters most. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to accept hard feelings, clarify values, and take small committed steps toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and uses simple experiments and skill practice to change patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways to combine methods that fit those needs. That shared planning helps tailor sessions to what actually works for the individual.

Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session types before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule a short check-in during a break, or allowing use of audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so progress continues between visits.
