About Patrick
Dr. Patrick Keohane is a clinical psychologist licensed in South Dakota (SD Psychologist 380) with 27 years of experience working with adult clients. He sees people coping with depression, anxiety, stress, sleep problems, anger, addictions, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and relationship strain. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
He uses cognitive and human-centered methods in his work. That means he combines practical cognitive behavioral strategies with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new skills, and trying out different ways of coping in everyday life.
Dr. Keohane values a collaborative process. He asks for feedback and adjusts the work as needed. People can expect straightforward conversations about what is and isn’t helping, plus step-by-step practice between sessions.
He often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or long-standing patterns are involved. For problem-focused concerns he may use solution-focused steps and CBT techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Dr. Keohane works with adults facing big life transitions, first adulthood pressures, and ongoing mental health conditions. His approach suits people who want a mix of practical tools and reflective conversation to manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Approach to online therapy and methods
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and struggles around motivation or meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful when strong emotions or relationship patterns interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Feedback from sessions is used to adjust the plan and move toward clearer, manageable steps.
