Patricia Curran, LPC, LMHC

Patricia Curran is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than three decades of experience. She helps people who are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed by grief, or stuck during life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and person-focused, aimed at helping clients find clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day routines.

Patricia draws on a mix of methods rather than one fixed system. She listens first to learn what matters most to each person, then tailors sessions toward practical steps and thinking shifts. Conversations often focus on small changes that add up over time, coping tools for stress, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss or major change.

Her background includes work in outpatient and inpatient settings and with people in confinement, giving her a wide range of clinical experience from which to draw. Patricia’s training and long practice inform a calm, steady presence in the room and an emphasis on collaboration and realistic goals.

She also works with issues related to aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and challenges that come with midlife and serious illness. Those topics are treated with attention to practical needs, emotion-focused support, and planning for next steps.

Sessions are aimed at helping people uncover their own answers and then practicing new behaviors and thinking patterns. Patricia emphasizes clear communication, respect for each person’s pace, and finding workable strategies that fit daily life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions; this is useful for people needing space to sort out grief, life changes, or identity shifts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will help clients pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels workable for the individual.
