About
As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and I offer unconditional positive regard and various different counseling techniques.
Hello, my name is Marie Van Patten and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am deeply empathetic and I am here to guide you on your path towards healing. The bravest thing you will ever do is ask for help, because it shows you refuse to give up. I am trained, licensed, and ready to help you with my expertise. I specialize in trauma and working with clients with PTSD, but I have worked with every type of client you can imagine. I see you. I know you're in pain. I can help you take control of your emotions and your life. I use evidence-based practice to help you figure out what's getting in the way of your "life worth living."
I use trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy/letter writing, and many other modalities to help you release the trauma of your past. I have worked with all ages and spent 10+ years as a professional, researcher, and licensed professional counselor.

As someone passionate about my own mental health, I would like to help you navigate yours with empathy, positivity, and a calming presence.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with 9 years of experience, and I’ve had the privilege of helping clients navigate life’s challenges since earning my licensure. My work focuses on treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, and psychosis. I also enjoy working with couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and those exploring their gender identity.
I earned a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Southern Nazarene University. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of every individual or couple I work with, using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and evidence-based techniques that promote grounding, self-awareness, and resilience while helping clients build healthier coping skills.
My own mental health journey and lifelong role as a natural listener inspired me to become a counselor in my 40s, and it remains one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I believe in creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, strengthen relationships, and discover new paths toward growth and healing.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Norman therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Norman, OK is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
