About Patrice

Patrice Bazer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She works with parents and caregivers to make day-to-day life more manageable. Patrice writes in plain terms and aims to create a calm, practical space for problem solving.

Patrice uses straightforward, goal-oriented work. She listens first, then helps set clear goals a family can use at home. Sessions focus on real steps parents can try between meetings.

Background and approach

The tone is warm and direct rather than clinical. She trained at the University of Michigan, earning a master’s degree in social work, and holds Wyoming LCSW license number LCSW-823. Over nine years she has supported children, teens, and their families in schools, clinics, and community settings.

Her background includes experience with grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, and school-related problems. In sessions she draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those tools help identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and try small changes that add up.

Mindfulness and client-centered ideas also shape how she works with families. Parents often bring concerns about communication, boundaries, mood, or parenting stress. Patrice pays attention to what a family can realistically do between visits and supports steady progress.

She aims to help families find clearer routines, better conversations, and greater calm at home.

Therapeutic approaches for online family support

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the family’s priorities and values. Sessions begin by listening carefully and then shaping goals together so families set the pace and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood and offers concrete strategies to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting reactions that make daily life harder. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision based on a family’s needs, goals, and what feels practical at home. She may try one approach first and adjust over time, keeping families involved in that process. Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when screens aren’t possible, and live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins and skill practice between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility so families can keep therapy steady while managing everyday demands.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
