Patrick Currie, LPC

Patrick Currie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, and life changes. He also supports those navigating LGBT concerns, bipolar symptoms, career shifts, and questions about life purpose.

Patrick trained in psychology and counseling and has worked in inpatient, correctional, educational, and outpatient settings. Early work on an adolescent psychiatric unit shaped his focus on trauma, abuse, and relapse prevention. He later ran workshops and group programs on stress management, anger management, and substance misuse prevention.

In sessions he uses straightforward, skills-based methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches. He emphasizes noticing thought patterns, learning practical coping skills, and trying new behaviors between sessions. Much of his work is geared toward step-by-step changes people can use in daily life.

Patrick pays attention to background and culture and includes family of origin issues, multicultural concerns, and financial stress in his planning. He also helps young adults, people at midlife crossroads, and those dealing with career or money challenges. He describes success as a process of awareness, acceptance, and action.

Sessions aim to identify strengths, build resilience, and set achievable goals. Patrick encourages practical exercises, brief skills practice, and regular check-ins to track progress. He uses a direct, problem-solving style to help people move from feeling stuck to trying different ways of responding.
