About Pat
Pat (Patrick) Granada is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois. He brings four years of experience to this listing and focuses on helping people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Pat aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about what matters to them and set clear goals for change.
Pat uses a direct and compassionate style in sessions. He listens first, then works with each person to build practical steps they can try between meetings. That can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new coping skills, or setting small behavior changes to improve sleep and daily routines.
Background in social work shapes his approach. Pat trained and worked across clinical settings and has supported people with medical changes, serious mental illness, and caregiving stresses. He also has experience mentoring other social workers entering clinical practice.
In therapy he draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing to tailor work to a person’s needs. Those methods guide conversations, help set achievable goals, and encourage motivation to make changes.
Sessions focus on concrete, everyday problems like sleep, panic, mood shifts, work stress, or relationship patterns. Pat aims to help people build routines that fit their life while addressing feelings of shame, grief, or overwhelm. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.
How approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and motivations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change habits that worsen anxiety, insomnia, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of finding a person’s reasons to change and supporting small steps toward goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Pat will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and then use one or more methods that fit. The plan can be adjusted over time as needs change, and the therapist encourages feedback about what is and isn't working.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about which session types are available and how to schedule so sessions match daily routines and treatment goals.
