About Patrice

Patrice Levy is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing family challenges and parenting stress. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is happening now. Patrice aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for parents who are worried about their families.

She draws on more than 11 years of clinical work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and grief. Patrice also addresses issues like ADHD, self-harm tendencies, eating and sleeping problems, and struggles with motivation or self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with those facing codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, and smoking or vaping cessation. In sessions she creates an open space where parents can talk through hard feelings and practical problems. Conversations often focus on what is useful day to day - routines, boundaries, communication, and small behavior changes that add up.

Patrice avoids judgment and helps families find clearer ways to handle conflict and stress. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and Credentialed Social Worker - CSW, with license details NY LCSW 084462 and CO LCSW CSW.09928956. Patrice practices out of New Jersey and conducts work in English.

Therapy with Patrice is delivered remotely through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Many parents begin by answering a short questionnaire to match with her, then schedule sessions at times that fit their routines.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

Patrice uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps and everyday changes. One common approach helps people learn new routines and skills for handling stress, such as structuring daily schedules, improving sleep habits, and creating calmer household patterns. This kind of work is useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and problems with eating or sleeping.

Another approach centers on coping with addiction and impulsive behaviors through concrete strategies. Sessions address triggers, safety planning, and small behavioral shifts that reduce risky actions over time. That work often includes support for smoking or vaping cessation and managing drug or alcohol concerns.

Finding the right approach happens together. Patrice collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, family needs, and comfort level. She will adjust the plan as progress is made and as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit hands-on days, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule while keeping the work focused and practical.
