About Patrick

Patrick Argiro centers his work in practical, evidence-informed methods that help people manage anxiety, trauma, anger, and life stress. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills for clearer coping.

Background and approach

Patrick emphasizes an approach that feels supportive and goal-oriented, with optional faith integration when a client requests it. With six years of clinical experience, Patrick holds LPC and LCPC licenses and practices from Idaho.

He focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally worn down, including those who appear outwardly high-functioning but struggle internally with tension, burnout, or uncertainty about the future. His work also addresses related areas such as self-esteem, depression, attachment and communication difficulties, and complex challenges like chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Sessions aim to foster clarity, confidence, and meaningful change through collaborative planning and practical tools. Patrick accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English, offering multiple session formats to match different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-informed approaches adapted for online care

Patrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through structured exercises and skill-building. He also employs Client-Centered Therapy, creating a supportive atmosphere where a person’s own goals and values guide the pace of work and help strengthen self-understanding. When needed, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are added to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for intense emotions.

Deciding on the best approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each client to match strategies to their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may combine methods over time so the plan stays responsive to progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Patrick is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more manageable alongside work, caregiving, or busy schedules. These options increase flexibility for clients who travel or live far from a clinician and allow for consistent continuity of care when in-person visits aren’t practical.
