About Patrick
Dr. Patrick McCain is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, and related concerns. He also works with sleep and eating problems, career strain, ADHD, grief, and coping with major life changes.
He uses straightforward, person-centered work that treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the person, spotting patterns that get in the way, and practicing small changes that build better daily habits. He draws on a range of approaches so the work can shift if something isn’t helpful.
His background includes long experience with trauma and substance use issues. That experience is used to help clients understand triggers, reduce sensitivity to reminders, and plan practical steps for staying sober or cutting down substance use when that is the focus. He also brings experience helping with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and complex emotional responses tied to attachment or abandonment.
In sessions he aims to be direct and pragmatic. Conversations often include values-based goals, cognitive strategies for handling distressing thoughts, and attention to relationships that shape behavior. Homework and real-world practice are common parts of the work.
People who choose him can expect a steady clinician who favors clear goals, measurable steps, and regular check-ins to see what is working. He accepts international clients and works in English.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and taking committed action toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anger, anxiety, and life changes by shifting the emphasis from avoiding feelings to living with them more deliberately.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test those thoughts, and try behavioral experiments that reduce reactivity and improve mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and trust. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and behaviors rooted in attachment wounds.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. The plan can change if a given method does not help, and practical steps are agreed together.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples into conversations without promising any particular service model.
