Patricia Curran, LPC, LMHC

Patricia Curran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 36 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the next step. Many come with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or questions that crop up during a midlife transition. Patricia speaks plainly and focuses on practical next steps that can be used right away.

Patricia’s background includes work in outpatient and inpatient settings and experience with confinement care. This breadth has exposed her to many life challenges, from caregiver stress and cancer-related concerns to end-of-life and hospice issues. She draws from different therapeutic approaches instead of using a single method for everyone.

In sessions she listens first and then helps identify concrete actions. She often uses client-centered work to follow what matters to the person, and cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help when someone wants to set goals and stay motivated.

Patricia also supports people facing relationship strain, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and low self-esteem. She emphasizes finding each person’s own answers and then practicing small changes that add up. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people move toward a life they want.

How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps people notice their own priorities, which is useful for midlife questions and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety or shift unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
