About Patrick
Dr. Patrick Mathieu is a licensed psychologist in Minnesota who centers his work on evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy while integrating other perspectives to address each person’s unique situation.
Background and approach
He draws on CBT principles to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and blends that with narrative and psychodynamic ideas when exploring personal history, relationships, and meaning.
With three years of practice as a licensed psychologist, he focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and parenting challenges as well as responses to trauma, grief, and compassion fatigue. Dr.
Mathieu pays attention to concerns that often intersect, including attachment and family-of-origin issues, abandonment and adoption or foster care experiences, guilt and shame, intellectual disability considerations, multicultural concerns, and social anxiety. He aims to collaborate with individuals to set practical goals and build coping skills tailored to life changes and self-esteem work.
Sessions emphasize respect and a non-stigmatizing stance as clients explore strategies for improved functioning and greater resilience.
Integrating evidence-based therapy with flexible online care
Dr. Mathieu commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is another thread in his work that explores relational patterns and early-caregiver connections to address attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and family-of-origin dynamics. Narrative Therapy also appears in his approach, encouraging people to reframe personal stories and separate problems from identity to reduce shame and increase agency.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He discusses options with clients, considers their goals and preferences, and adjusts methods over time so that therapy fits each person's needs rather than asking clients to adapt to a single method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from Minnesota and accommodate varying routines, allowing ongoing work on coping skills, parenting strategies, grief processing, and other therapeutic tasks without requiring in-person visits.
