Frank Patin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who brings nine years of clinical experience to his work. He describes himself as an older guy with a wide range of interests and life experience. He enjoys talking with people and helping them navigate hard moments.

He focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also addresses communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and life purpose questions. Divorce and separation are listed among his additional focus areas.

Frank has a particular interest in helping men learn how to experience and name their emotions. He also notes having worked with adolescents and females in past counseling roles. He keeps his approach straightforward and conversational, aiming for practical change rather than jargon.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling follows the therapist's availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

The biography notes Frank uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which generally include clear, practical methods that focus on symptoms and behavior. One common approach teaches people to notice and label emotions, then try different, small responses to reduce distress and improve relationships. This helps with anxiety, anger, and intimacy-related struggles.

Another frequently used technique emphasizes communication skills and problem-solving. That approach breaks down difficult conversations into manageable steps, helps identify patterns that cause conflict, and practices new ways to express needs and set boundaries. It can be useful for people facing divorce and separation, workplace conflict, or ongoing relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and the therapist review what is working and adjust the plan together as progress unfolds.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and offer a way to check in during breaks or between commitments. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and the format that best fits your routine.
