About Patrick

Dr. Patrick Keohane is a clinical psychologist licensed in South Dakota (SD Psychologist 380) with 27 years of experience working with adult clients. He sees people facing depression, anxiety, stress, anger, sleep problems, addictions, bipolar disorder, trauma and many other concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

He combines straightforward cognitive behavioral strategies with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. That means he uses practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, while keeping the conversation focused on each person's experience. He also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy where they fit the work.

His style is interactive and feedback-driven. He asks for regular input so sessions adapt to what helps most. People who want clear techniques for managing anger, stress, sleep, or mood often find this approach useful.

Dr. Keohane also works with issues tied to relationships and family history, such as attachment and communication problems, abandonment worries, fatherhood stresses, and caregiver strain. He addresses addiction, grief, and coping after disasters in practical ways that aim to reduce immediate distress and build everyday skills.

When starting, he and the client set specific goals and review progress. He explains methods plainly, teaches concrete skills, and checks in about what is or isn’t working. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions and then move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to lower reactivity and improve sleep and emotional control.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. He reviews goals and preferences with each person, and then adapts techniques from these approaches to match what the client needs. Feedback is used regularly so the work changes if something isn’t helping.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid travel, or choose a shorter check-in when time is limited. It also allows practicing skills in daily life between sessions while keeping the focus on concrete techniques for anger, stress, sleep, and mood management.
