About Patrice
Patrice Carroll is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a steady, practical approach to sessions. Patrice emphasizes working in the way that fits each person best, whether that is video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD concerns, caregiving strain, workplace stress, and eating-related issues.
Background and approach
Patrice aims to help people find small, useful changes that improve daily life. Patrice sees clients as the experts in their own stories. She uses listening and questions to help people notice strengths and decide on workable steps.
Sessions are meant to feel practical and down-to-earth rather than overwhelming. Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns, including issues related to aging, autism, intellectual disability, and traumatic brain injury. That experience informs a flexible, respectful way of meeting people where they are.
In sessions she draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment work, mindfulness, emotionally focused methods, and motivational interviewing. Patrice offers collaborative, paced support so clients can test small changes and adjust plans as needed.
How Patrice Uses Empathy, Acceptance, and Mindfulness Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking small, values-guided actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can help people who want to manage anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, or low motivation by building flexible habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting without judgment so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; this approach works well for stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patrice collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. She will check in about what helps, adjust the plan, and try different steps at a comfortable pace so progress feels realistic.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat and text are useful for quick check-ins or when a shorter, written format is preferred. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
