Her background includes supporting people with disabilities and those coping with caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, and traumatic brain injury. She also has experience with eating and food-related concerns, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, trichotillomania, and self-harm. This breadth gives her practical exposure to varied situations that can come up at home.

How sessions work
How Patrice integrates therapy approaches online
Patrice commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the person's own insights, which can help when sorting through family and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that align with those needs. That collaborative process helps adjust techniques if something isn’t fitting.
Her biography notes she offers video, phone, or text sessions, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins by phone or text, reduce travel time, and let people use video when they prefer face-to-face interaction. If you need a quieter, brief check-in or a longer conversation, these practical choices can be discussed when you schedule.
