Patrick Argiro , LPC, LCPC

Patrick Argiro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, anger, or life stress. He focuses on clear steps people can take to feel less stuck and more able to manage day-to-day pressure. Patrick practices from Idaho and communicates in English.

He works with people who often look high-functioning on the outside but feel worn down inside. Sessions aim to reduce tension, improve mood, and build practical skills for handling triggers and setbacks. Patrick draws on approaches that emphasize the person's own goals and strengths.

In session he mixes client-centered listening with skills-based methods like cognitive behavioral approaches and emotion-focused work. That combination helps people name painful patterns and try different ways of responding. He also brings dialectical ideas about balancing acceptance and change when emotions feel overwhelming.

Patrick has six years of clinical experience. His background includes work with trauma, stress, depression, and self-esteem concerns, and he supports people affected by issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, caregiving strain, and chronic illness. He also addresses communication and commitment concerns.

Therapy sessions are practical and conversational. Patrick helps people set short-term goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes. He aims for sessions that are direct, respectful, and focused on what the client wants to improve.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It creates space to talk through feelings and priorities so the client leads the direction of work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) brings skill training for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help when feelings are intense.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions often mix styles so people can try skills and also talk about what matters most to them.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to connect if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in more often or use brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
