Patricia McCullough

Patricia McCullough is a Pennsylvania-licensed LCSW with nearly four decades of practice. She focuses on clear, respectful conversation that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring care to each person’s situation.

Patricia draws on attachment-based principles to help people understand patterns in close relationships. She uses client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in each person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers hands-on tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Clients often bring trauma, abuse, or issues around abandonment and attachment. Patricia uses techniques from EMDR and DBT alongside other therapies to address traumatic memories and emotional regulation when appropriate. She aims to build skills that make daily life easier and more manageable.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns, including caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems. That breadth informs practical strategies for problem solving and self-care. Patricia emphasizes collaboration on goals and pacing work to each person’s readiness.

People who choose Patricia can expect straightforward, compassionate care and plans that are adjusted as progress is made. She encourages small, steady steps toward greater confidence and better coping. For those affected by adoption and foster care issues, she can address related loss and attachment questions within her broader practice.
