About Patricia

Patricia Kerigan M.S., LPC helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma. She explains issues plainly and works with each person to find practical ways to manage symptoms and move forward. Her tone is steady and direct, aimed at making care feel accessible and clear for someone scrolling on a phone.

With 12 years of experience, Patricia focuses on common struggles like panic, low self-esteem, grief, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, substance concerns, domestic violence effects, and the added stresses veterans may face. Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns and mood-related challenges.

She describes her style as collaborative and nonjudgmental. Sessions center on hearing what matters most to the client and helping them try strategies that fit their daily life. The goal is to build resilience and practical skills rather than rely on jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.

Patricia practices in Georgia and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. Sessions are offered in English. If you are outside the United States, she does not see international clients at this time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. This process is intended to make starting care straightforward and predictable.

Approaches that guide online care and goals

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic so clients can reduce overwhelm and regain control in tense moments. Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic experiences and building strategies to manage triggers and intrusive memories, helping people feel steadier day to day.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as progress is made or needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people maintain momentum between appointments and apply new skills in real-life settings more quickly.
