About me

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than twenty years of experience in counting adult clients. My experience has led me to value the concepts of person-centered therapy and unconditional acceptance of the person and the circumstances. I am proficient in several contrasting therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma Therapy, and Self as Locus of Control. The core principals of the therapeutic relationship are very important to me and I believe in self determination to establish and accomplish goals that are meaningful to individuals.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Patrick Stephens. 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.

Patrick helped me rebuild myself into a better man after I had extreme doubts of myself in a very dark time in my life. He helped me process accountability for my actions and find the strength I needed to become a stronger person mentally. Dunno what I’d do without him.

Patrick has been such a great listener. He’s provided amazing feedback and provided such great insight on things I don’t recognize. He’s a wonderful therapist and I’d recommend him to anyone.
