About Patrice
Patrice Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in Massachusetts. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. Patrice focuses on practical support and clear steps people can use right away.
She uses short, direct conversations to identify what is most troubling. She listens for strengths and builds on them. Sessions can be on video, by phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on what fits a person's life.
Background and approach
Patrice values a collaborative approach. She helps people name goals and then tries small, manageable changes together. That can mean practicing mindfulness, learning new ways to talk about feelings, or setting boundaries in difficult relationships.
She also brings experience helping people dealing with caregiving stress, workplace strain, eating and food-related issues, obsessive behaviors, and challenges connected to disability and aging. Patrice supports people navigating identity concerns, including LGBT issues, and the emotional effects of trauma. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She encourages clients to try techniques between sessions and to notice what does and doesn't help. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions in that direction, even when anxiety or difficult feelings appear. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace, and the therapist reflects and supports the client's own insights. That approach helps people build confidence and self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person's life, adjusting as needed so the plan remains useful and realistic.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expressions and share longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, brief coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily routines.
