About Patrick
Patrick Argiro is a licensed counselor who helps adults feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, or depression. He welcomes people who seem high-functioning but feel worn down, stuck, or unsure about the future. Patrick holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices in Idaho.
He uses straightforward, person-focused work that aims to reduce immediate distress and build coping skills people can use day to day. Sessions focus on practical tools, clearer thinking, and learning ways to manage strong emotions like anger.
Background and approach
He also addresses responses that come from trauma or long-term stress. Patrick blends talk-based care with skills practice. He draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
He also uses client-centered listening to make people feel heard and DBT strategies to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. He has six years of clinical experience and has worked with a wide range of concerns such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain, body image, and communication problems. Patrick can include faith-based perspectives when a client wants that included.
People meet him for clear, practical steps rather than jargon. He helps identify small changes that can reduce daily tension and improve mood. The aim is to leave sessions with something useful to try before the next meeting.

Approach options and online counseling
Client-centered therapy focuses on strong listening and empathy so clients feel understood and can explore what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger-driven reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills are useful for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which approaches to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing brief check-ins and written tools between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
