Patrick Currie , LPC

Patrick Currie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people across a range of settings. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Widener University with a focus on behavioral medicine and health psychology, and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Temple University. Early work on an inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit exposed him to the profound effects of trauma, abuse, and neglect and motivated his deeper training in counseling so he could better help others manage life’s difficulties.

Over the course of his career he has provided individual counseling in clinical, educational, and correctional environments, led workshops on stress management and healthy choices, and facilitated psychoeducational group programs addressing violence prevention, drug abuse prevention, relapse prevention, and anger management. In outpatient practice he has worked with anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief and loss, career and work problems, relationship challenges, life transitions, and other issues. He also attends to family of origin matters, life purpose and midlife concerns, financial stress, multicultural issues, and young adult challenges.

Patrick’s approach blends awareness, acceptance, and practical action. He uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered techniques to help people identify strengths, build resilience, and pursue more authentic and fulfilling lives. He strives to understand each person’s perspective and to offer supportive, empowering guidance that fosters growth and lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and situations where avoidance has become limiting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, mood challenges, and many problem-solving needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrick works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan together so therapy fits each person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with a licensed professional through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, address issues from home or work, and maintain continuity of care when life changes arise. For many people this accessibility supports consistent progress and practical application of skills between sessions.
