Frank Patin

Frank Patin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people make sense of strong emotions. He brings nine years of counseling experience and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Many people come to him for anger, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and issues with intimacy and depression.

Frank describes himself as an older clinician with varied life experience and many interests. He often helps men learn to recognize and express their feelings. He also has experience working with adolescents and with women, and he listens without rushing people to conclusions.

In sessions he talks through immediate concerns and practical next steps. He aims to help people notice patterns that keep problems repeating and try different ways of responding. This can include improving communication, working through guilt or shame, or finding purpose when life feels stuck.

He has supported people dealing with divorce and separation, obsessions and compulsions, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, workplace stress, and midlife questions. Frank uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work and adapts his approach to each person’s needs.

People who meet with him can expect straightforward conversation, skills practice, and a focus on what matters most in daily life. To start, choose the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability.

How evidence-based techniques work in online care

Frank uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on learning to identify and name emotions, which helps people respond rather than react. This can be useful for anger, anxiety, and mood struggles. Another approach centers on building communication skills and problem-solving steps so people can handle relationship and workplace tensions more effectively.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, with fewer travel needs and more flexible timing. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is tight, and it can let people join from wherever they are located within the therapist's service area. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, skill practice, and conversations to work well in a virtual setting.
