About Patrick

Dr. Patrick McCain is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. He focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and substance use. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, ADHD, and challenges like eating and sleeping problems.

He uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. He pays attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships affect daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches he uses to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses.

Dr. McCain also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take actions that matter to them. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas inform how he looks at relationship patterns and emotional needs. He can discuss trauma-related symptoms and how past events continue to affect reactions today.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and measurable changes. He works with people to spot triggers, build coping skills, and reduce behaviors that cause harm or get in the way of life. Substance use is addressed with attention to each person’s beliefs and patterns rather than a single fixed method.

He asks clients to be part of planning their work together. That means setting realistic steps, tracking progress, and adjusting approaches when something is not working. The tone is direct and results-oriented, aimed at practical change rather than abstract theory.

How his approaches translate to online work

Dr. McCain commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and measurable steps, which adapt well to remote sessions. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide meaningful action even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based ideas are used to map relationship patterns and how they show up in communication and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferred ways of working, and what has or has not helped before. That collaboration guides whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix is the most useful for a particular concern.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use phone or video in ways that match their day-to-day routine, while the therapist helps plan exercises and track progress between meetings.
