About Patricia
Patricia Kerigan M.S., LPC is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Patricia also helps people who are struggling with guilt and shame related to relationships, family, faith, or past actions.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations rather than technical jargon. Sessions are aimed at understanding what keeps painful feelings active and finding manageable steps to change those patterns. Patricia pays attention to how daily routines, communication styles, and life transitions affect mood and coping.
Her work includes helping people who feel isolated, empty, or stuck after loss or conflict. She has experience supporting veterans and people facing multicultural challenges. She also addresses concerns such as panic attacks, substance issues, domestic violence effects, and personality or mood disorder symptoms.
Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients make sense of painful memories and current triggers. She uses collaborative problem solving and skill building so people can practice new responses between sessions. The focus is on short, usable strategies that fit into a busy life.
If someone wants to start, she asks for a brief matching questionnaire and an initial scheduling step. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and plan.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding emotional patterns and teaching practical skills. One commonly used approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood active. This approach is useful for panic, persistent worry, and negative self-view.Another approach concentrates on processing distressing memories and developing new responses to trauma-related triggers. It helps reduce the intensity of memories and teaches ways to manage reactions when reminders appear. Both approaches emphasize short exercises and concrete tools that can be practiced between meetings.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. She discusses options with each person and adjusts course based on needs, goals, and how someone responds. This collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel most useful and realistic for everyday life.
