About Patricia
Patricia Moise is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in the District of Columbia. She has ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. Patricia also supports people coping with parenting strain, self-esteem concerns, and the impact of abuse.
Her work begins with listening and respect. She asks about a person’s history and goals, then shapes sessions around what matters most. Conversations are practical and direct.
Background and approach
Patricia focuses on skills people can use between sessions. Patricia pays attention to attachment wounds and feelings of abandonment. She helps people notice control patterns, shame, and guilt so they can make different choices.
When domestic violence or immigration issues are part of the story, she addresses safety and practical next steps alongside emotional healing. Sessions are collaborative. Patricia helps clients set realistic goals and track small changes over time.
She blends discussion with exercises and simple behavioral tools to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She offers therapy in English and Haitian Creole and works with people who live in other countries as well. Patricia uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit therapy into busy lives.
If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach she applies teaches breathing, grounding, and activity strategies to reduce anxiety and calm the body. These tools aim to make stressful moments more manageable and improve day-to-day functioning.She also emphasizes work on attachment and relationship patterns to address feelings of abandonment and trust. This approach helps people notice old patterns, try new responses, and build more stable ways of relating. When trauma or abuse are part of the history, she incorporates careful pacing and support to address painful memories while attending to current safety and coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Patricia collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. She adjusts plans as progress is made and as needs change.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging provide quick access between sessions and can help people process thoughts in real time. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel commitments.
