About Patrick
Patrick Barrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of experience working in South Carolina and North Carolina. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, career concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Patrick speaks English and works with adults seeking practical, structured therapy strategies.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered ways of working. Sessions are straightforward and aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. He helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and track what works in daily life.
Patrick often addresses drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, social anxiety and phobia, and young adult concerns. He favors clear goals and short-term steps when those fit a person's needs. Conversations include looking at current problems and trying practical alternatives that can be used between sessions.
Over his career he has worked with a variety of concerns and draws on different methods depending on the person in front of him. He prioritizes methods that produce concrete skills people can use at home, at work, and in relationships. Patrick describes therapy as a place to learn new ways of responding and to practice them over time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Patrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes. CBT sessions typically include setting clear goals, practicing small experiments between meetings, and tracking results over time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.He approaches therapy collaboratively and will work with clients to decide which method or mix of methods is most useful. That decision is based on a person’s goals, day-to-day demands, and the kind of support they want, rather than assuming one method fits everyone.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or after work. Phone calls can be a shorter check-in option that needs less bandwidth, while video sessions let people use visual cues during discussion. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and practical needs.
