Patrice Carroll , LICSW

Patrice Carroll is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in Massachusetts. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to identity and relationships. Patrice emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.

She offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Patrice centers sessions on the person’s goals and strengths and keeps language straightforward and direct. She aims to create a space where talking through hard things feels manageable.

In session she often uses mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice what matters to them. Patrice pairs that with client-centered listening so people shape the pace and focus of work together. She also draws on emotionally-focused methods when relationship patterns are part of the concern.

Patrice works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, workplace strain, caregiving burden, eating-related issues, OCD patterns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating women's issues and LGBT concerns. Her approach is practical: identify doable changes, test them, and adjust as life unfolds.

People who prefer a collaborative, respectful style tend to fit well with Patrice. She encourages small steps toward clearer values, steadier routines, and better coping. If someone wants a calm, direct partner to help figure out what comes next, Patrice offers that steady support.

How Patrice's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persons perspective; the therapist listens without judgment and follows the persons lead to build understanding and confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and shift patterns in close relationships by naming feelings and trying new interaction steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice treats this as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as progress or new needs appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward change.
