About Patrice
Patrice Levy is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing parenting stress and related life challenges. She focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage mood changes, and handle difficult moments at home. Patrice speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried parents.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. Sessions often focus on building routines, setting limits, and managing emotions day to day.
Background and approach
Patrice also addresses substance use, sleep or eating problems, and impulsive behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Patrice has 11 years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. Her background includes work with people dealing with trauma, grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and addiction-related challenges.
That experience informs a practical approach to coping and problem solving. Appointments typically center on small, achievable steps clients can try between sessions. Patrice helps parents develop strategies for common struggles like anger, low self-esteem, and relationship strain.
She also supports young adults and women navigating life transitions and career concerns. Sessions can include short check-ins and longer problem-solving conversations depending on what a person needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit your life
Patrice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical strategies and skill building. One common approach focuses on behavior and routine changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or eating habits; this helps when daily schedules and small habits are getting in the way of wellbeing. Another approach targets coping skills for mood and impulse control, teaching specific ways to notice triggers, pause, and choose a different response to anger or urges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then try strategies together to see what helps. She adapts methods based on progress and what fits the client's day-to-day life rather than insisting on a single technique.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper weekly conversations, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat allows brief focused check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching or short updates between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting demands and work schedules.
