About Frank
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with nine years of experience, Frank Patin focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, and depression. He also works on communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, midlife crisis, mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and workplace concerns. Frank conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
Frank describes himself as an older clinician with varied life experience and a broad set of interests. He prefers direct conversation and practical problem-solving. He pays attention to how feelings show up in daily life and guides people through naming and understanding those feelings.
He has experience counseling adolescents and working with women, and he notes a particular interest in helping men to learn how to experience their emotions. That interest shapes how he talks about relationship and intimacy issues and how he approaches conversations about anger and shame.
Frank frames therapy as a step-by-step process rather than a single event. Sessions typically involve straightforward talk, checking patterns that cause distress, and trying small changes to test what helps. He aims to make therapy feel like a series of manageable conversations rather than overwhelming work.
Practical matters are handled plainly. Frank uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Frank describes his approach as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach is behavioral work, which looks at day-to-day actions and tests small changes to shift mood and stress. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive behaviors by giving concrete things to try and review.Another element is emotion-focused conversation, which centers on helping people notice, name, and tolerate feelings. That approach is useful for relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, shame, and men's issues because it makes emotional experiences easier to speak about and examine together.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means trying an approach, checking how it worked, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone continue care across moves within the United States, but international clients are not accepted. Practical considerations like quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs can guide which session type to choose.
