More about Patricia
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Since graduating from the State University of New York at Albany in 1999 and earning my Doctorate in Social Work in 2025, I have dedicated myself to the field of clinical social work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide comprehensive therapeutic support for adults, drawing on extensive experience in individual and group psychotherapy, program development, and clinical supervision.
My practice is rooted in a strength-based model, where I specialize in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Techniques to help clients navigate toward more realistic and empowering thinking patterns. I am a firm believer in developing a collaborative partnership with my clients to guide them along the path of their own recovery. While I work with a diverse range of adult clients, I have a particular interest in supporting executives and high-performing professionals as they navigate work-related issues, burnout, and the unique pressures of leadership.
I have developed deep expertise in the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem issues, and addiction. I utilize compassion, understanding, and a sense of humor to build a safe therapeutic relationship that is conducive to making and maintaining successful, long-term change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
