More about Patrick

- LPCC
• I have been a practicing mental health therapist for over 20 years. I was originally licensed in Tennessee, then Ohio and have been in the Twin Cities since 2011.
• Most of the past 20 years I have worked in chemical dependence treatment centers and specialized in chemical dependency in my private practice. I was a part of the Pride Institute for 8 years and have also specialized in treatment for the LGBTQIA in my private practice.
• As a self-identified Transman, I have practiced openly where it has been safe to do so and have been writing letters for other trans identified clients for over a decade. I have worked with both adolescent and adult clients over the years.
• I use clinical hypnotherapy as a part of my practice to help process traumas so that clients are not as obstructed by them and can focus more on other problems in their lives. I have been practicing clinical hypnotherapy since 2005. With Clinical Hypnotherapy (CH), I use metaphors to help clients understand concepts. CH is a powerful way to make changes quickly. I believe that one must visualize what that change might be like in their lives to achieve permanent change and deal with the impact that change manifests.
• Another of my more recent specialties is I am a certified Reiki Master Healer and Teacher. I use Reiki with clients to help them relax, for pain management and to provide an alternative to therapy.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
