About Patrice

She focuses on anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and the everyday struggles that get in the way of feeling like yourself.

Background and approach
She encourages practical steps that fit into busy lives and small changes that add up over time. Patrice blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people manage anxious thinking and build actions aligned with their values. She also uses client-centered listening and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals.
These methods are aimed at reducing stress, improving mood, and increasing confidence in daily life. Her work includes help with relationship stress, self-esteem, career pressures, anger, and life transitions such as caregiving or health challenges. Patrice also supports people dealing with isolation, family of origin issues, or the strain that comes with postpartum changes and midlife questions.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Patrice partners with each person to tailor strategies and check progress along the way. The focus is on what helps most in the weeks and months ahead.
How Patrice’s methods translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to test what actually helps. CBT can be helpful for reducing anxious thinking and building daily routines that improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Over several sessions she and the client check what’s helping and adjust the plan together so the work feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone work can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter check-ins, homework review, or steady progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
