About Patrick
Dr. Patrick McCain is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and parenting challenges.
He brings a direct, respectful manner to sessions and aims to help clients find practical coping strategies. He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing distress and what changes matter most. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s goals guide the work while he offers tools and ideas.
Background and approach
He emphasizes building on existing strengths rather than starting over. Dr. McCain draws on several well-known approaches to shape sessions, including acceptance-based and cognitive strategies and attachment-informed thinking.
That range lets him match methods to specific concerns like grief, substance-related issues, mood conditions, or problems with sleep and eating. He also works with people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other life transitions. His style is person-centered and nonjudgmental.
He listens for triggers, patterns, and strengths, then helps people practice new responses. For parenting concerns he focuses on clear goals, routines, and communication strategies parents can try between sessions. Clients who prefer online options can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with scheduling handled after a short matching questionnaire.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by clarifying what matters and setting small steps toward it.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and eating problems, and building new routines.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people identify attachment-related triggers and practice new ways of connecting and responding, which can be relevant for intimacy, grief, and parenting issues.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. Dr. McCain will talk with clients about goals, past experience, and preferences, then recommend methods to try. He adjusts the plan as you give feedback so the work fits your needs.
Online sessions allow the same therapeutic work without travel. Video calls are useful for face-to-face discussion and teaching exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can support short updates, homework, or steady contact between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy parents and people juggling work and caregiving.
