She is based in New Jersey and brings 11 years of clinical experience to conversations about mood, motivation, and coping.

Her sessions aim to create a calm space for honest conversation. Patrice listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and works with them to try different ways of responding. She supports people dealing with sleep or eating struggles, impulsivity, and substance use concerns, and she also addresses women’s issues and challenges common in young adulthood.

Patrice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build skills and regain control over daily life. She works collaboratively with each person to set realistic goals and practice new habits between meetings. Over time this can reduce symptoms and increase confidence in handling stressors.

Before focusing on outpatient care, Patrice gained varied clinical experience across settings that included addiction services and trauma work. She holds the credentialed social work titles LCSW and CSW and uses that background to guide assessments and treatment planning.

Her style is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on concrete tools and small changes that add up. People who want a practical, respectful approach to recovery and growth often find this method useful.

How Patrice Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Patrice draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and measurable progress. One common approach she uses emphasizes behavioral strategies to change habits and reactions; this involves setting small, doable goals and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or stop harmful patterns. Another approach centers on addressing trauma and its effects by helping people name painful experiences, learn grounding techniques, and build safer ways of coping so that triggers become easier to manage.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Patrice works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options, tries an approach, and adjusts plans based on what helps most in real life, so therapy stays focused and practical.

Online sessions let people connect in ways that fit their day. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or parenting demands.
