About Patricia
Patricia Flemmings is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience in New York. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, and stress. Her work pays attention to how life events and identity shape emotional health.
Patricia centers sessions on building self-love and practical coping skills. She helps people who struggle with social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and communication problems. She also supports those facing control issues, divorce and separation, and the effects of racial discrimination.
Background and approach
Her practice draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create clear, structured sessions. Conversations look at patterns that keep problems going and introduce doable changes. Sessions often include skills for managing difficult feelings and improving everyday interactions.
Patricia aims to make therapy feel welcoming and respectful of each person’s background. She offers a perspective informed by cultural experience and attention to faith when that matters to the client. People can expect straightforward guidance and steady support as they work toward their goals.
In session, she balances emotional processing with practical strategies. That can mean learning new ways to talk about needs, setting boundaries, or building routines that reduce anxiety. Patricia also helps people recover after traumatic events and adjust to major life transitions.
Approaches and online therapy options that fit your life
Two evidence-based techniques Patricia uses are practical skills work and trauma-focused care. Practical skills work teaches breathing, grounding, communication, and thought-management tools that help reduce day-to-day anxiety and improve interactions. Trauma-focused care looks at how past events affect current feelings and teaches ways to process upsetting memories while building coping skills for triggers. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match those priorities. If something isn't helpful, the plan is adjusted together so sessions stay relevant and useful. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, flexible ways to check progress and get support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing routines.Frequently asked questions
