About Patrick
Dr. Patrick Mathieu is a Minnesota licensed psychologist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and parenting concerns. He uses straightforward, respectful language and aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable.
He is listed as MN Psychologist 1621 and offers care in English from Minnesota. Dr. Mathieu draws from several therapy styles to match each person’s needs.
He often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small habits.
Background and approach
He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to build more supported ways of relating. Narrative therapy is part of his approach when people want to retell painful or confusing life stories so they can move forward. He blends these approaches with psychodynamic thinking to consider patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages.
Sessions are framed around concrete goals and step-by-step strategies rather than long lectures. His background includes a range of clinical environments where he has worked with people facing trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, and identity or multicultural concerns. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, and family of origin wounds.
People who come to him can expect a collaborative process that aims to set clear targets and practical steps. He offers therapy in multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this approach helps people notice relationship expectations and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite how they understand difficult events.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches as needs change over time, and the plan is adjusted in collaboration with the client.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging support shorter updates, quick skill practice, or ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on concrete goals and steps.
