About Patience

Patience Ebini welcomes people who are worried about stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, addictions, trauma, or depression. She writes in a direct, calm way to help people take the first step toward feeling steadier.

Patience is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW in North Carolina and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW in the District of Columbia, with 13 years of experience. She focuses on making sessions feel open and nonjudgmental.

Background and approach

Patience encourages clients to talk about what matters most and to name small, practical goals. She listens for what is getting in the way day to day and helps people build skills to manage strong emotions and difficult moments. Her work often addresses parenting strain and family-related stress.

She also supports people dealing with addiction, recovery challenges, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. In addition, she helps with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and the impact of divorce or separation. Patience brings experience supporting people facing immigration issues, first responder stress, grief, guilt, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, tailoring choices to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and French, and she accepts international clients. To begin, the site’s Start Therapy process is used: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Patience aims to make the first steps straightforward and respectful of each person’s situation.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Patience uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work in session. One common method focuses on practical skills for managing strong emotions and anxiety, teaching simple exercises people can use between meetings to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on processing trauma and its effects in manageable steps, helping clients name painful experiences and build new ways of coping that feel safer over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patience will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow a quicker check-in during a work break, or make it simpler to keep regular appointments while traveling. It also allows continued support for people who live outside the therapist’s immediate area, including international clients.
