About Patricia
Patricia Lundy is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Patricia writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.
She began her clinical path after earning a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Barnard College, Columbia University.
Background and approach
Over two decades she has worked in hospital settings and community services. That background gives her experience with pregnancy and neonatal loss, postpartum mood struggles, geriatric depression, and illness-related adjustment. Patricia helps people who are coping with divorce or separation and those dealing with communication problems at home or work.
She also supports people facing midlife transitions, issues related to pregnancy and childbirth, and workplace stress. Her approach aims to build on the strengths a person already has. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clear goals.
Conversations cover what is most urgent and what small changes might improve daily life. She encourages gradual progress rather than quick fixes. Patricia believes people can move beyond survival into a more fulfilling life.
She offers steady guidance through hard moments and major transitions. Starting therapy is a step toward clearer thinking and better coping, and she works collaboratively to make that step manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques that focus on problem-solving and emotion regulation. One common approach teaches skills to manage anxiety and stress through breath work, pacing, and practical coping steps. It helps when worries feel overwhelming and daily functioning is affected.Another frequently used method focuses on grief and loss through guided conversation and meaning-making. This approach helps people process mourning, navigate endings, and plan for the next chapter of life. It also supports adjustment to illness, parenting changes, or other big transitions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. This decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when schedules are tight. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a short check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can help with brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or for people who prefer written communication. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
