More about Patrick
- 20 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
Hi, I'm Patrick, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with over 25 years of experience helping people in various settings. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Widener University with a focus on behavioral medicine and health psychology, learning the amazing ways in which we can improve or regain health and wellness using the power of the mind. Then, while working on an inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit, I witnessed the damaging effects of trauma, abuse and neglect and so I returned to school at Temple University and earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology to be better equipped to help others deal with life's many challenges.
I have worked in clinical, educational and correctional facilities providing individual counseling, conducting workshops and seminars on stress management, making healthy choices and other topics, as well as running psycho-educational group programs for violence prevention, drug abuse prevention, relapse prevention and anger management. I have continued to provide outpatient therapy addressing a number of issues - anxiety, depression, substance abuse, grief and loss, work and career problems, relationship issues, life transitions and more. No matter what type of challenges you are facing, I believe we all have the capacity to improve ourselves and live more authentic, healthy and fulfilling lives.
Success in any endeavor is a process of developing awareness, gaining acceptance and taking effective action. My style is supportive and empowering, using elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and positive psychology to educate and inspire others to master these skills. I take a holistic approach to counseling, looking at every aspect of a person's life to identify strengths, build resiliency and encourage growth. I am also sensitive to the needs and challenges of individuals from different groups, including racial, cultural, LGBT, differently abled or other. I respect the values and experiences of my clients and I aspire to see the world from their perspective as we work towards the life they want to live.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Helpful experienced careing
It is great to have Patrick as my therapist. He truly listens and reflects back to me what he heard and offers me insights that help me to better approach my situation!
Very knowledgeable and honest
He’s an amazing person, with lots of knowledge and he takes time and understands your problems and provides effective solutions. Best therapist i know so far!
Patrick listens to others in a unique way that separates him from other therapists. Instead of just listening and nodding his head, Patrick offers encouraging advice and important insight. He has a way to use his own experiences to understand your experience, and to help you understand why things are the way they are or why they could be a certain way.
Patrick has guided me to understand my predicaments which allowed me towards mental happiness and well being each week. I am very blessed to have such an amazing therapist.
Perfection
Great therapist, always prompt, on time, and is a fantastic listener.
Patrick is an amazing!!!
I like working with Patrick. He understands my concerns and we are actively working on ways to control my anxiety.
Finding the right therapist is always a challenge. What works for me may not work for you, but for me Patrick is a really good choice. He listens well and is engaged, and has lots of suggestions for me. He is an active therapist, by which I mean that he gives suggestions of strategies to work on whatever I'm talking about, shares anecdotes from his own life that relate to what I'm talking about, offers his summary if I'm rambling, and if I don't agree with his summary it's fine, it's just a jumping off point anyway... I guess my point is that if you want someone who will listen supportively but not say much, then you need someone else. But if you want someone who gets right there in the fray with you, and actively helps you figure out how to handle your hurdles, then I'd say give Patrick a try.
Patrick is a fantastic listener. Specifically when I talk-through a situation in monologue format, or struggle to stay on topic; Patrick is always following along, guiding me through the issue. As a person who often feels misunderstood, Patrick does a wonderful job of making me feel heard.
Patrick is the reason I rave about therapy and the reason I've encouraged many friends to try therapy if they haven't already! Patrick is incredibly helpful, intuitive & knowledgeable. He's helped me gain emotional maturity and has had wildly practical and helpful responses to just about everything I've thrown at him, always able to pull concepts together in deep and meaningful ways. It's really quite remarkable to be able to share a difficult experience I may be going through and not only have him understand where I'm coming from in concise and pinpointed ways due to a great memory of our past discussions but he often is also able to point out something I had completely missed. It's been incredibly helpful for my own self-discovery and understanding my own cycles, and for getting to the root causes of many issues & mental states. Thanks, Patrick!
Patrick is extremely understanding and helpful when it comes to my anxiety. He provides me with the appropriate tools to help process my emotions and move towards acceptance. I would absolutely recommend him to others.
I've had quite a few sessions with Patrick at this point. I feel as though he lets me talk, listens, and most importantly gives good advise and honest feedback as to what he thinks about how I'm handling my issues. I look forward to our sessions every week.
I found Patrick to be an insightful guide during a particularly stressful time.
Extremely helpful.
Patrick has been more effective in his work with me than any other therapist I have ever worked with. He is empathetic, understanding while being effective and encouraging me to really evaluate my responses and feelings to understand what drives them. Working with Patrick has really made the difference in my self work I am doing! Highly recommended!
I have been counseling with Patrick for over 2 years. I've had much to work through in many overlapping areas. Patrick is a great listener & offers much feedback & just the right amount of tools & suggestions to allow me to make significant strides, one step & one day at a time. His words stay with me where I often find myself repeating what he has said & sharing how those words comfort me & support my personal journeys in life.
I have been attending sessions with Patrick for a little over 2 years now (with some breaks in between because life happened). The fact that it has been 2 years should speak for itself. He is flexible and always very responsive. He is very compassionate, never makes you feel like your being judged, listens to you in detail and remembers EVERYTHING you tell him, even if you wish he didn’t. He will relate situations you are in to his own life to remind you, you are not as strange as think you are. He is very knowledgeable about anything you throw at him and he is funny! We never go through a session without laughing. I got paired with Patrick by chance. But I couldn’t be more grateful for him and for Better Help!
One word, compassionate! Patrick Currie was awesome to work with, I only had a couple of sessions but each session he was very compassionate and great at listening and understanding my perspective.
Patrick is easy to talk to and always listens to whatever is going on in my life, good or bad, without judgement. He gives great advice and has also given me several ways to manage negative emotions. I really appreciate his perspective on things. Overall, he has been very helpful.
Patrick is fantastic! I have only had two sessions with him so far, but I already feel very comfortable with him and confident with his abilities. He listens to me without judgement and offers thoughtful feedback on my concerns. I am looking forward to this journey to better mental health with Patrick as my guide!
He's great the best counselor I've ever had
Patrick is awesome! He is there for me, listening, reflecting, challenging me. I have been very I'll recently & was hospitalized for well over 2 weeks. Patrick kept in touch with me via the message board & offered his support & encouragement while I was unable to set appointments. He is a caring soul who understands me, affirms me & helps me sort out my crazy life in my one time. I am grateful for Patrick & for BetterHelp!
Patrick is incredibly understanding of the issues I present to him and he is very easy to relate to. His use of references to his own life help create a safe and open environment to volunteer information, usually knowing I am about to be told I’m not as strange as I think. I’d recommend Patrick to anyone looking to increase clarity and drill down on what motivates and inspires you.
Patrick has been my counselor for the past two years. With his help, I have transformed my life around for the better!
Patrick has created a solid “safe” place for me to share and work through my issues. He puts me at ease but is good at pushing me when I start to pull back. He listens and does a great job of helping me work through the reflection of difficult memories and then helps me redirect to think about how to apply new skills in my future similar interactions. With his help I am working through the painful memories and improving my coping skills!
Great guy. Great mentor and consular. Kept me calm and relaxed throughout and made me feel better about myself. Thank you for your help, you made a difference in my life. Thank you.
Patrick has been very responsive and helpful.
Great! informative, professional, and In tune with what is being said. Patrick also provides great feedback.
Patrick is willing to approach issues without diagnosing immediately. He looks at all aspects and gives natural exercises to work on. I feel comfortable and confident in his abilities.
Patrick is a wonderful counselor and I’m fortunate to work with him! He is an attentive listener and provides thoughtful insight and actionable recommendations. He understands how to help people through a wide range of issues they might be facing and always treats me with respect and dignity. I could not recommend him more highly!
Patrick is amazing. He’s help me through the past year get through some major obstacles in my life and I’m greatly appreciative for better help and Patrick Currie.
I've made tremendous process with Patrick on many levels. His expertise & wisdom help me to increase my own awareness, allowing me to heal, change & grow. I am evolving into a healthier happier me.
My counselor Patrick has been a great support and has helped me overcome many challenges in reaching my goals. He is very intuitive and keen in giving me clarity with my situation while offering reassurance along the way. His support continues to tremendously help me overcome the hurdles I face to make the necessary changes in my life.
Patrick is a great counselor. He reaches out to me regularly and checks on me. He gives great advice and feedback. I wish that everyone was as compassionate and understanding as Patrick. Thank you!
Patrick has a talent for listening, validating, and providing a new perspective. I have had a few counselors and Patrick is by far the easiest to work with and the most productive. I hold his council in high regard and I would absolutely recommend him to a friend.
Although we have only had a few sessions, Patrick has been attentive in listening to my concerns, even when my thoughts are often all over the place. I look forward to more sessions and continuing to work through some of the troubles I am facing.
Patrick is a great counselor. He is a wonderful listener who provides thoughtful responses and actionable, practical advice on how to treat issues. He’s helped me gain insight into my own struggles and to find methods of coping and reducing symptoms that have been invaluable. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of counselor!
He's the best counselor I ever had!
I've been counseling with Patrick for 16 months now. He has been an integral part of many changes in my life. Through Patrick's guidance, my awareness of my inner self has evolved to a much deeper and higher level. Patrick listens and responds with understanding and compassion, providing new insights for me and asking self reflective questions to help me clarify my own thoughts and feelings. I find myself often quoting things that Patrick has said to me, which have obviously had a profound effect on me. Thank you, Patrick, for your valuable approach and techniques. I am grateful for your expertise. I have progressed tremendously in many areas of my personal growth and sanity!
Patrick has been a great support in helping me find the motivation within to set tangible goals and achieve them. I’m very grateful for his help which continues to move me forward through my challenges as I face them .
I think Patrick has performed extremely well in making sure I receive the best care. He checks in with me, even when I don't. I think his advice is wise, and is well thought out. He is doing a great job, and highly recommend him.
Patrick is fantastic! I have seen many counselors before, but Patrick is one of the few who made me feel very comfortable from the start. I highly reccomend him!
Patrick has been very patient and understanding with my current life situation and has given me great support and advice on how to cope with my current situation. I’m very grateful for his service.
I’ve had a few therapists over the years. Mostly because they weren’t the right one. Working with Patrick is opened my eyes to a happier and healthier life. I continue to work with him even though my issues are at bay because it helps to have the therapist and someone to talk to outside of your relationships. BetterHelp is not only an affordable solution it’s the right solution. You can do your meetings from anywhere and get the help you need today. Thanks!
Patrick is fantastic at listening to me go over some of the same problems I keep having and giving out useable and realistic advice. He’s attentive and understands when I mess up my schedule or miss a session. I would recommend Patrick to anyone!
Patrick has been great so far. I’m always concerned about “the fit” with therapists but BetterHelp did a great job matching me with Patrick. I’ve been in therapy before and Patrick really clicks even though it’s all over the phone. His methods are logical and fact-based while maintaining a strong sense of empathy and patience.
During a difficult time in my life, my sessions with him kept me going.
I have found Patrick very supportive to me in a time of crisis. I recommend him highly.
Patrick is an excellent therapist. He listens well, and offers great tools to improve my mental health.
Patrick has quite literally been a lifesaver! While I am still struggling, I understand the causes and have learned tools to deal with the issues that cause me difficulties. I don’t believe I could have done this without Patrick’s support and encouragement!
Patricks tips are invaluable. Patrick is reliable and highly skilled and he is someone that I call on for personal and professional advice.
I have made a lot of progress and growth personally since having Patrick as my counselor. His methods and mechanisms of counseling have allowed me to see things in a different perspective and a healthy way of handling situations. Would definitely recommend him to friends and family!
So far this is so much better than traditional therapy, I feel able to communicate with Patrick and he is able to give me feedback and help me work in a precise manner.
Patrick listens and gives great advices and guides you to a positive path.
Been working with Patrick for about 4 months now and it has made a world of difference. He is open, honest and genuine. He has been able to assist me in many facets of my life.
Great guy that genuinely cares about people.
Patrick is compassionate, attentive and very good at what he does.
Patrick has been a great help with my depression. He's been supportive, understanding and offered a number of useful suggestions on which I've followed up and found to be beneficial in dealing with depression and anxiety.
I have been working with Patrick for last two months. He has been very helpful with my issues. I highly recommend him to others.
Patrick is very responsive, insightful, and flexible. I've been super happy working with him so far.
Patrick has been quick to respond to messages and very accommodating in video sessions. We're only two sessions in, but I value his input and am looking forward to further learning how to manage issues with his guidance.
Great listener and really helps you get better over time instead of a "quick fix."
Patrick is my first counselor I have ever had and I like his demeanor. He is understanding and listens well. He doesn't push and asks if I want his opinion on things I bring up. I would definitely recommend him to others.
