About Patricia

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience, Patricia Kerigan M.S., LPC focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She works directly with adults who are coping with strong emotions and difficult life changes. Sessions center on practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon.

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, mood disorders, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She helps people untangle feelings of guilt, shame, and emptiness, and supports those dealing with addiction, domestic violence histories, or veteran-related concerns. Multicultural issues and communication problems are also part of her work.

She sets short-term and longer-term goals with clients and focuses on skills people can apply between sessions. That may include coping strategies for anxiety, ways to manage grief, or tools to rebuild self-esteem. Patricia pays attention to how a person’s background shapes their reactions and choices.

Her practice includes supporting people who feel isolated or overwhelmed by relationship and family problems. She offers a direct, collaborative style that invites practical problem solving. Sessions are intended to be a place to talk through difficult feelings and to test new ways of responding.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on symptom reduction and skill building. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral methods, which help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed strategies that help people manage intrusive memories and regain emotional stability after abuse or other traumatic events.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about current difficulties, goals, and what methods feel most helpful. That collaboration helps shape a plan that can be adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats. In general, online options can make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work and family obligations, support quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people fit therapy into their everyday life while working on anxiety, grief, trauma recovery, and related concerns.
