Patricia McCullough, LCSW

Patricia McCullough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with decades of experience helping people change everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of living well. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Patricia aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people feel heard and understood.

She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize practical steps you can try between meetings. Patricia encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Her background spans nearly four decades of work in mental health in Pennsylvania. That experience includes supporting people through bereavement, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and relationship challenges tied to attachment and communication problems.

Patricia draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and EMDR methods where appropriate. She blends these methods to match a person’s goals rather than using one fixed model.

People who come to Patricia often want help with patterns that feel stuck - for example codependency, control issues, dissociation, or substance use. She works to make therapy clear and practical, so skills learned in session apply to daily life.

If you prefer straightforward talk and actionable steps, Patricia’s style centers on collaboration and steady progress toward clearer thinking and healthier habits.

How Patricia’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect present-day reactions. It can help when worry, distrust, or separation fears shape daily choices. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. That approach creates space to tell your story and decide goals at your own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. It often includes practical exercises to change routines and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. The plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. Some people find video useful for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth or to avoid being on camera. The therapist and client decide together which options suit daily life and treatment goals.
