About Patrick

Dr. Patrick McCain is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience working with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, depression, and family-related concerns. He speaks English and accepts international clients. He lists a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and more.

He uses several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. In sessions he focuses on clear goals and practical steps. People can expect direct conversation about patterns that started in childhood and how those patterns show up now. He pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics without assigning blame for past family behavior.

Dr. McCain works from methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy. He combines these approaches to address substance use, mood concerns, personality-related issues, and grief. The work can include learning new coping skills, spotting triggers, and testing different ways of relating to others.

He describes his role as collaborative: the client’s perspective guides goals and pace. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and increase day-to-day functioning. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Dr. McCain uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early relationship patterns and how they shape current interactions. That approach is helpful for intimacy concerns and recurring relationship difficulties. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client’s perspective central and to shape sessions around the person’s priorities.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as the work progresses. Clients can expect practical exercises, talking through patterns, and experiments to test new ways of responding.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often find remote sessions helpful for maintaining consistency while juggling work, family, and daily life.
