About Patrice
Patrice LaGrand is a licensed social worker in Michigan with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, motivation, and relationship concerns. Patrice speaks plainly and works to make therapy something a busy parent can fit into life.
She starts by listening to each person's story and noting their strengths. Patrice treats people as the expert on their own life and helps them build on what already works.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented without losing sight of feelings. Her approach mixes tools that change thoughts and habits with ways to clarify values and keep moving forward. That can mean learning small steps to manage anxiety, building confidence, or trying new behaviors that improve connection and intimacy.
Patrice also addresses caregiving stress, midlife questions, and challenges that come with aging or chronic health issues. Patrice uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among other methods. She draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas when clients want short-term, action-focused work.
The emphasis is on practical change tailored to each person’s goals. Sessions are offered in English and can be done through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their life.
How Patrice's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that fit what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to shift them. Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore what matters.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Patrice will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they try methods that fit the issue and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the work practical and focused on real-life changes.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy schedule. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care, fit appointments around caregiving or work, and use short, action-oriented check-ins when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can use these options to tailor timing and pace to each client's needs.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
