See online therapy optionsAbout Patrick
Dr. Patrick Keohane is a clinical psychologist licensed in South Dakota with 27 years of experience. He works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, addiction, trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship strain, and related concerns.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods and a conversational style. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new ways of responding, and tracking what changes. He describes his approach as blending cognitive behavioral strategies with humanistic ideas.
Clients can expect direct feedback and a collaborative planning process. Dr. Keohane uses client input to adjust goals and exercises as therapy proceeds. He emphasizes clear, manageable steps rather than long, abstract explanations.
Typical work includes identifying patterns that maintain distress, practicing concrete skills between sessions, and checking how well those skills are working. He helps people break problems into smaller parts so solutions are easier to try.
He has long experience with chronic mental illness alongside more common problems such as insomnia and life stress. That background informs a steady, problem-solving focus when addressing complex or long-standing difficulties. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals and practical next steps.
Practical approaches and working online
Dr. Keohane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on specific patterns that keep problems going and on testing small changes to see what helps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shows how values and committed actions can guide choices, helping people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, respectful conversation where the person’s views guide the pace and focus of work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them based on feedback and results.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when helpful. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and brief between-session practice that fit well with remote work. Ask about available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick the option that matches your schedule and needs.
