About Patrick

Patrick Miranda is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and questions about identity. He offers a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed. He draws on five years of clinical experience in residential and outpatient settings for substance use care.

That background brings a practical focus to sessions, especially around drug and alcohol concerns and mood symptoms.

Background and approach

He has also supported adolescents, adults, and family members through life transitions and difficult emotions. In sessions he blends cognitive behavioral ideas with strategies from dialectical behavior theory and existential perspectives. That means working on thought patterns, building emotion regulation skills, and clarifying personal values to guide decisions.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with concrete tools people can use between meetings. Patrick pays particular attention to issues common in the LGBTQ+ community and to people navigating young adult challenges, family of origin questions, and men’s issues. He uses everyday language and short-term goals to make progress feel realistic and steady.

Outside of therapy he reads widely and enjoys video games. He holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and maintains his Illinois LCPC credential.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Patrick lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches that fit online care

Patrick uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT techniques often include simple exercises and between-session practice that translate well to video or messaging. Dialectical behavior ideas focus on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be taught and practiced over phone or video.

He also integrates existential perspectives to help clarify values and life direction. That work involves conversation and reflection to uncover what matters, which can be done over any remote format and supports decisions about purpose and meaning.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and pace make the most sense.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit for lower bandwidth or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
