About Frank
Frank Patin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with nine years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and depression. He also addresses communication problems, workplace challenges, and issues around separation and divorce.
Frank takes a direct, conversational approach. He listens for what is getting in the way of daily life and helps people name patterns that keep repeating. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used between meetings to reduce tension and improve communication.
He has a particular interest in helping men learn to notice and express emotions without judgment. Frank also has experience supporting people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and midlife questions. He talks through realistic ways to rebuild connection and manage strong feelings.
When anger shows up as snapping at loved ones, simmering resentment, or frustration at work, Frank helps identify triggers and develop clearer responses. He uses straightforward techniques to lower intensity in the moment and to change habits that produce repeated conflict.
Clients can expect plain language and steady feedback about progress. Frank encourages short experiments between sessions to test what works. To begin, people are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How therapeutic techniques translate to online sessions
Frank uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to test them, useful for anxiety, anger, and workplace stress. Skills-based emotion work helps people label feelings, reduce intensity, and practice new ways of responding during conflict.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals and try different techniques to see what fits. You and he will track what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions focus on workable steps between meetings.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify exact options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, role plays, and breathing or grounding practices for remote sessions so tools learned in session can be used in everyday situations.
