About Patrick
Patrick Russell is a New York LMHC with 25 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, men's issues, money and financial problems, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and workplace issues.
Patrick frames clients as experts on their own stories. He focuses on practical steps people can use to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Sessions tend to prioritize clear goals, skills practice, and real-world problem solving rather than long theoretical discussion.
His approach draws from client-centered methods that listen for what matters most to each person. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thought and behavior that make anger and anxiety worse. He also incorporates mindfulness practices to help with staying present and lowering high arousal.
People who prefer straightforward feedback and a step-by-step plan often find this style useful. Patrick encourages small experiments between sessions to test what works. The work is collaborative and aimed at gradually building better responses to stress and triggers.
He works in English and is based in New York. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details so they understand how practical arrangements will fit with their life.
How sessions work
Approaches you may use in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood so they can make changes that fit their life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior that keep anger and anxiety active. It involves identifying automatic thoughts, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative behaviors between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and increase awareness of triggers. Those skills can make it easier to notice escalation and choose a different response.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can shift as progress and challenges become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life because they remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer a full-length conversation that mirrors an in-person visit. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist so sessions match your schedule and day-to-day routine.
