About Patricia

Patricia Moise is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, evidence-based support for parents and for people managing stress and mood concerns. She uses straightforward conversations to help clients untangle anxiety, persistent low mood, trauma, and parenting strains. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on clear goals and steps the person can use between meetings.

Patricia holds a District of Columbia LICSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential.

Background and approach

She brings ten years of professional experience to her practice and draws on that background when helping people sort difficult feelings and stressful situations. Her work often touches on challenges such as self-esteem, motivation, and the effects of past abuse or trauma. Her style centers on respect, empathy, and collaboration.

She hears each person’s story first, then tailors conversations and a plan to fit those needs. Patricia avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and instead builds small, practical strategies that clients can try and adjust. Patricia also addresses concerns tied to relationships and life transitions, including attachment and abandonment worries, control issues, domestic violence, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, and social anxiety.

She speaks English and Haitian Creole to support clients who prefer those languages. Taking a first step can feel hard. Patricia aims to make that step easier by offering steady guidance and clear next steps.

She works with people who want hands-on help to feel more balanced and confident in daily life.

Practical approaches for online parenting and stress support

Patricia uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps you can try between sessions. One common approach teaches skills to manage overwhelming thoughts and intense emotions, helping people reduce anxiety and low mood by changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building coping routines. Another method targets trauma-related symptoms by helping clients process difficult memories at a pace that feels safe, reducing their hold on daily life and improving ability to function. Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Patricia listens to your priorities and tests approaches gently, adjusting plans based on what helps you reach your goals. She aims to make treatment practical and relevant to your family life and parenting concerns. Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide an alternative when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum on difficult issues while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
