About Patrice
Patrice Levy is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood shifts, and relationship strain. She practices from New Jersey and speaks English. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful experiences and work toward clearer goals.
Patrice draws on eleven years of clinical experience to support people with a wide range of concerns. She addresses substance use and codependency, eating and sleep difficulties, impulses and self-harm, and issues that affect young adults and women.
Background and approach
She also works with those managing ADHD, bipolar illness, grief, career worries, and parenting challenges. In sessions she focuses on helping people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and helps name small changes that can make daily life easier.
Conversations often include problem solving, tracking progress, and adjusting plans together. Patrice holds LCSW and CSW credentials and brings experience from clinical settings across several states. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable.
The work is framed around present needs and realistic goals. For those ready to begin, she offers multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Patrice uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and safety. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavioral changes. This helps with anxiety, low mood, impulsivity, and many day-to-day struggles by making problems more manageable and measurable.Another approach centers on skills for coping with strong emotions and urges. It teaches concrete tools to reduce harmful behaviors, manage cravings, and improve sleep or eating patterns. These skills can be practiced in session and applied between meetings to build momentum.
Deciding which tools to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick methods that fit the person’s life and adjust them over time as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress notes, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These flexible options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules.
