About Patricia

Patricia Curran is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, and self esteem concerns. She offers calm, straightforward support for day-to-day problems and for larger turning points. Conversations focus on what matters to each person and on practical next steps they can try between sessions.

Patricia brings 36 years of clinical experience across outpatient, inpatient, and confinement settings. That background means she is familiar with a wide range of problems, from addictions and trauma to caregiver stress and end-of-life concerns. She draws on several approaches and blends them to fit each person rather than using one fixed system.

In a session she helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then practices small changes that build over time. Patricia uses client-centered work to follow each person’s pace, cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts, and solution-focused steps to set concrete goals. Conversations often include grounding or skills to manage intense feelings.

Her style is practical and respectful. She aims to help people find their own answers and learn how to act on them. That can mean clearer decisions about relationships, healthier daily routines, or new ways of coping with loss and change.

Patricia works from Arizona and speaks English. She is an LPC and an LMHC and has spent decades helping people who face midlife transitions, career stress, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and the strains of caregiving.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first by following their concerns and pace; it helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when anger, relationship strain, or intense distress are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods that fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new priorities appear.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so people can use breaks more easily. Licensed professionals often use structured exercises, thought records, and skills practice that translate well to remote meetings, letting clients try tools between appointments and report back on what helped.
