Patricia Curran

Patricia Curran is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 36 years of experience. She helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps people can try right away.

Patricia works with people who are coping with life changes, relationship strain, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, and career worries. She draws on different therapy methods to fit each person rather than relying on a single approach. Sessions aim to uncover personal strengths and turn those into useful day-to-day changes.

Her background includes outpatient and inpatient settings as well as confinement environments. That variety shaped the way she responds to problems - calmly, directly, and with attention to what has worked before. Patricia emphasizes finding small, clear shifts in thinking and behavior that add up over time.

In session she guides people to notice patterns, try new strategies, and track what helps. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and other approaches to reduce distress and manage strong emotions like anger. The pace and focus are set together, based on the person’s needs.

Patricia aims to support people dealing with midlife transitions, aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice-related concerns, and caregiver burnout. Her goal is to help people find clearer choices and more workable ways to cope.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and helping them find their own answers. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and partnering with the person to set goals and make changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns that fuel anger and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. It can help people manage intense emotions and reduce reactive responses in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and checking what helps over time.

Session logistics vary by therapist and are not specified in the biography, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions that focus on specific skills practice or thought records between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
