About Patricia
Patricia McCullough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 39 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Patricia describes working with motivation and confidence concerns as well. She conducts sessions in English.
Her approach centers on practical conversation and problem solving. She listens for how daily life - work, caregiving, health, and relationships - affects mood and choices. Sessions often focus on skills for coping with overwhelming feelings and on small changes that make routines easier to manage.
Patricia uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered ideas. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, helps identify unhelpful thinking, and keeps the conversation grounded in what the client wants to change. She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when they fit the situation.
She has worked across many kinds of struggles including abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems, and substance use concerns. Patricia describes helping people with divorce, blended family stress, and eating or control issues as part of her practice.
Her style is straightforward and focused on measurable steps. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin clarifying goals and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How Patricia’s therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it targets day-to-day thinking and routines.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they decide whether attachment work, CBT, or another method is the best match and adjust as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules since it reduces travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also helps people use skills between sessions in the settings where problems actually occur. The practical aim is to make therapy fit into work, caregiving, and health routines while focusing on clear, usable steps.
