I am licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. My approach to therapy includes the use of models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as others depending on what appears to be most appropriate for your needs and preferences. Some of the topics we may address in therapy include managing stress and anxiety, life purpose, drug and alcohol addictions, anger management, motivation, and self-esteem issues. I believe that we all have areas where we can learn from one another as well as areas to work on each day to try and improve ourselves. Therapy can be a wonderful place to learn and improve, and I am here to support you in that process.
Additional areas of focus: Trauma and abuse, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Depression, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Drug and alcohol addiction, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Social anxiety and phobia, Young adult issues
Clinical approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Patrick Barrett. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
My experience with Patrick has been amazing to say the least. If you're on the edge of signing up, read this.
You will never go back. I have dealt with anxiety for 10+ years, OCD, thoughts that are intrusive, and things in my childhood that formed my identity (to my detriment).
Patrick has been able to help me within a relatively short time. It's about 3 months in and I'm a new man. I'm loving my wife better and I'm living out the shoes God has for me.
Patrick has helped me look at life for what it truly is. Not in the eyes of someone obsessed with the wrong things, but things that actually matter.
I'm a success lover, nothing wrong with working hard, but when that negatively impacts the meaningful parts of life, thats where I draw the line.
Patrick has been so influential in my life.
