Patricia Lundy , LCSW

Patricia Lundy is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in New York. She focuses on the particular stresses women often face, including pregnancy and childbirth challenges, midlife transitions, grief, and workplace pressures. Patricia aims to make therapy clear and practical so people can take steps forward.

She has long experience in hospital and community settings and has supported clients through pregnancy and neonatal loss, postpartum mood concerns, domestic violence, and bereavement. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Barnard College, Columbia University.

Sessions emphasize building on strengths and practical coping strategies. Patricia helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practices communication skills for use in daily life. She encourages realistic goals and small changes that add up over time.

Therapy may include talking through relationship patterns, managing stress, and planning for life transitions such as divorce or menopause. Patricia also helps people improve workplace interactions and handle caregiving or health-related worries. Her work is grounded in two decades of direct clinical experience in New York settings.

Patricia speaks English and has experience supporting Spanish-speaking women, and she aims to create a respectful space for each person. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Patricia focuses on practical ways to move toward the goals each person brings to therapy.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concern at hand. For mood and anxiety problems she focuses on skills-based work that teaches practical ways to manage thoughts, reduce worry, and improve daily routines. For relationship and communication struggles she emphasizes role-playing and clear communication techniques to help people express needs and set boundaries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Patricia supports people in weighing options and choosing approaches that fit their preferences and life circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and do longer sessions, while phone work can fit a break from a busy day and uses less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing immediate feelings, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These formats make it easier to schedule care around work, parenting, and other commitments, helping people maintain consistency and progress.
