About Patricia
Patricia Kerigan M.S., LPC is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Patricia also addresses related struggles such as panic attacks, isolation, and multicultural concerns.
She focuses on practical strategies that help people manage intense feelings and difficult situations. Sessions often involve talking through what’s happening now, learning ways to reduce anxiety, and practicing skills to respond differently when panic or shame appear. Patricia pays attention to how past hurts and current relationships shape emotional reactions.
Her background includes work with veterans and people from diverse cultural backgrounds. That experience informs how she listens for patterns tied to family expectations, identity, or past trauma. She also supports people coping with substance use, domestic violence histories, and personality-related challenges.
Patricia aims for collaborative sessions where goals and steps are clear. She helps clients build concrete tools for everyday life, such as breathing and grounding techniques, communication strategies, and ways to handle overwhelming thoughts. Meetings move at a practical pace and focus on what the client wants to change.
People who come for help with social anxiety or panic often leave sessions with simpler ways to face triggering situations. Her work balances short-term coping skills with longer-term attention to recurring patterns. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Patricia describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real symptoms and practical skills. Cognitive-based work helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and depression; it is useful for panic, social worry, and low mood. Exposure-oriented strategies involve gradual, supported steps to face feared situations and reduce avoidance, which can help with phobias and panic responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will review a client’s goals, past experiences, and comfort level, then recommend methods to try and adjust them over time. This collaborative stance lets practical skills and longer-term change work alongside each other.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills and real-life exposures between meetings while keeping the focus on the client’s goals.
