About Patricia
Patricia earned a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Barnard College, Columbia University. Her background includes work both inside hospitals and in community settings, giving her experience with medical, bereavement, and perinatal concerns.
In sessions she looks for practical steps clients can take between meetings. She helps people name strengths and apply those strengths to current problems. Conversations focus on clear goals, coping strategies, and improving day-to-day functioning.
Patricia has worked with people facing grief, depression, anxiety, workplace stress, and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with divorce and separation, women's health issues, and the ripple effects of a new diagnosis or illness. She frames change as something people can navigate rather than simply endure.
She encourages people to take the first step toward help, then works collaboratively to set reasonable goals. Patricia aims to make therapy a straightforward, tools-focused process so clients can use what they learn in real life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and coping skills. One common approach helps people identify specific behaviors and patterns that increase stress or anxiety, then replace them with manageable alternatives to reduce day-to-day distress. This method is useful for anxiety, workplace stress, and depressive symptoms.Another approach emphasizes working through grief and life transitions by naming losses, developing coping routines, and building supports to handle change. That work can help with pregnancy or neonatal loss, bereavement, and the upheaval of separation or midlife transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then tests techniques to see what fits best. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helpful and what is not.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making it easier to attend brief check-ins when time is limited. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online work can make it simpler to keep consistent appointments and apply new skills directly to the situations you face.
