    About Patrice

    Patrice Carroll is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in Massachusetts. She frames therapy around each person's strengths and respects that clients know their own stories. Patrice emphasizes steady support as people take steps toward a more satisfying life.

    She offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns about self-esteem. She also addresses relationship strain, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and issues linked to ADHD. Additional focus areas include caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, eating and food-related concerns, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and traumatic brain injury.

    Patrice uses a mix of approaches that fit the person in front of her. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered methods support noticing thoughts and choosing values-guided actions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work on attachment and relationship patterns.

    Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Patrice listens first, then helps set doable goals and small steps toward them. She invites clients to try ideas in daily life and brings the results back to sessions for adjustment.

    Therapy may include practical strategies, coaching-style guidance, and compassion for burnout or caregiving fatigue. The approach is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people move from feeling stuck to making workable changes.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Patrice commonly draws on Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on listening for what matters most to a person and helping them find their own motivation to change, which can be useful for habits, motivation, and readiness to try new steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values to improve daily life.

    Finding the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. Patrice will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust tools and pacing based on what helps most in real life.

    The biography indicates she has used video, phone, and text for sessions. Please confirm which of these formats are currently available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people choose the communication style that feels least interruptive to their routine while keeping the focus on practical steps and values-based goals.
