About Frank
Frank Patin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with nine years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and depression. Frank also addresses social anxiety and phobia among other issues. He speaks English and works with adults in Colorado.
Frank brings a conversational, down-to-earth approach to sessions. He likes straightforward talk and practical problem solving. He helps people name feelings, notice patterns that get in the way, and try small changes that can ease daily pressure. He has a particular interest in helping men recognize and express emotions more freely, and he has experience working with adolescents and women as well.
In sessions he focuses on clear steps you can take between meetings. That might include practicing a new way of speaking up, trying breathing or exposure exercises for anxiety, or mapping out relationship boundaries. He pays attention to how problems show up at work, in close relationships, and in day-to-day routines.
Frank describes therapy as a shared process. He listens to what matters to each person and suggests practical strategies people can actually use. He combines real-life sense with approaches that have evidence behind them, especially for mood and anxiety concerns.
To begin, people use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Frank uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive behavioral work, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep anxiety and low mood going and practices alternative responses. This can help with social anxiety, obsessive behaviors, and mood problems. Another approach is exposure-based practice, which involves gradually facing feared situations in manageable steps so responses lessen over time. That method is commonly used for phobias and social fears. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Frank will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s goals and comfort level. He works with clients to pick techniques and adjusts them as progress and feedback guide the work. The process is collaborative and practical. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For some people, not needing to commute or returning quickly to daily tasks makes regular sessions more manageable.Areas of expertise
