About Patrick

Patrick Jones is a licensed professional counselor who brings 16 years of clinical experience to work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

He draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help people address grief, parenting and family strains, career pressures, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and patterns like codependency, attachment or abandonment struggles. Patrick emphasizes strengths and resilience, viewing each person as the expert on their own life while offering guidance to navigate complicated emotions and life transitions.

His style centers on collaboration and practical skill-building, blending approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment practices, client-centered listening, and trauma-focused interventions. Patrick frames therapy as a courageous step toward greater wellbeing and aims to support and empower clients as they pursue clearer goals, better coping, and improved day-to-day functioning.

He is licensed as an LPCC in California and works in English with adults seeking change and relief from the issues listed above.

Evidence-Informed Therapies Adapted for Online Care

Patrick integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. ACT encourages values-based action and acceptance of difficult internal experiences while helping clients build psychological flexibility for coping with life changes and persistent stress.

Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where the therapist and client explore which approaches feel most useful. Patrick aims to tailor interventions to a person’s goals and preferences, trying different methods in partnership and adjusting as needs evolve so the fit and focus are collaboratively determined.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to engage from different settings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs and to continue therapeutic momentum between meetings through messaging and brief check-ins.
