About Patricia
Patricia Kerigan M.S., LPC helps people manage anxiety, depression, and trauma using practical, evidence-based methods. She works with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, panic, grief, or low self-worth. Patricia writes short-term and longer-term goals with each person and focuses on clear steps that can be used in daily life.
With 12 years of experience, Patricia has supported people through major life changes and difficult emotions. She has particular experience assisting veterans and people facing multicultural challenges. She also helps those coping with isolation, guilt, shame, and the fallout of relationship and communication problems.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Patricia listens first, then helps clients identify patterns and small behavior changes that make a difference. She emphasizes skills people can practice between meetings, so progress continues outside the session room.
Patricia tailors care to each person's needs and pace. She pays attention to safety and real-life constraints while working toward better mood regulation and fewer panic-related interruptions. The work blends practical exercises with emotional processing to help people regain steadier daily functioning.
People who reach out can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through painful experiences. Patricia supports clients in building coping skills, improving communication, and moving toward clearer emotional balance.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on helping people change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress through clear steps. Cognitive approaches help identify and shift thoughts that heighten anxiety and panic, teaching practical ways to test and change beliefs that feed worry. Exposure-based strategies involve gradual, guided practice facing feared sensations or situations to reduce panic and avoidant behavior over time.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, current difficulties, and what feels manageable. Together they will pick techniques and a pace that match the person's needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also support steady practice of skills between meetings and make follow-up check-ins more convenient. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to combine talking, skill coaching, and practical homework so work continues between meetings.
