About Patrick

Dr. Patrick McCain is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, sleep difficulties, and other life stresses. He aims to meet each person where they are and to work at a pace that feels manageable.

He uses a person-centered stance that begins with listening and understanding what matters to the individual. That approach guides conversations about triggers, coping skills, and meaningful goals. He combines several therapeutic methods to match the person and the problem rather than relying on a single way of working.

Dr. McCain brings experience with a broad range of concerns, including mood disorders, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and parenting stresses. He also provides care related to addiction and substance use, tailoring strategies to each person’s beliefs and life context. He pays attention to symptoms that come from trauma and works to help reduce reactivity to reminders of past events.

Sessions focus on practical steps and building on strengths. Conversations may include identifying patterns, learning new coping tools, and practicing skills between meetings. He emphasizes respect, nonjudgmental support, and shared decision-making about goals and next steps.

If someone wants to begin, the process includes a short questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Dr. McCain welcomes international clients and conducts therapy in English.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that come up when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. It can help with sleep problems, anxiety, and managing mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy, relationship concerns, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences. Then he will suggest methods and adjust them as progress and feedback guide the process. This collaborative stance helps keep sessions relevant and focused on what the person needs most.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep appointments during work breaks or when scheduling around caregiving and other responsibilities.
