Patrick Currie

Patrick Currie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. He brings 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and major life changes. He focuses on practical tools people can use day to day to feel more in control and purposeful.

He trained in psychology and counseling, and has worked in clinical, educational, and correctional settings. That work included individual counseling, inpatient adolescent care, workshops on stress management and healthy choices, and group programs for violence prevention, relapse prevention, and anger management. Those experiences shaped a straightforward, skills-focused approach.

In sessions he emphasizes awareness, acceptance, and action. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify unhelpful patterns and try different responses. He also uses a client-centered stance to listen and reflect what matters most to each person.

Patrick looks at life broadly when planning work together. He considers career, family of origin, finances, cultural background, and other life areas when helping people set goals. He supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and questions of life purpose.

People who work with him can expect clear explanations, practical exercises, and collaborative goal-setting. He aims to build skills that carry into everyday life, helping clients manage emotions, improve relationships, and handle transitions more effectively.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Guide Online Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It focuses on building willingness to feel difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and increase clarity about choices in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean using ACT strategies in one week, CBT exercises the next, and mindfulness practices woven through sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular meetings, try brief check-ins, or practice skills between appointments.
