About Patricia
Patricia Fraser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 39 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and depression. Patricia also helps people who struggle with communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, social anxiety and issues around life purpose and self-love.
Patricia uses straightforward talk to help people name what feels stuck and to find small, practical steps forward. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills that can reduce anxiety, improve communication, and ease grief. She invites honest conversation about thoughts and feelings without judgment.
In early meetings Patricia focuses on understanding each person’s situation and priorities. Together they set goals people can try between sessions. She pays attention to relationship patterns and to how stress shows up day to day, and she helps people experiment with different ways of responding.
People who come to Patricia often want clearer thinking about career or personal direction, better ways to manage anxiety, or help recovering from loss. She explains options plainly and checks in about what works. Practical change and steadier daily functioning are common areas of focus.
Sessions are conversational and task-oriented rather than theoretical. Patricia encourages small, manageable changes and follows progress over time. She asks about what has helped before and builds on those strengths.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Patricia draws on established, evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, depression, and grief. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses; they are useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-doubt. Behavioral strategies focus on small, doable steps such as activity changes and exposure practice to reduce avoidance in social anxiety and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia treats approach selection as collaborative: she and the client review what is happening, try methods that suit the person’s goals, and adjust as needed. She checks progress and changes plans when something isn’t helping.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions often make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can schedule during a lunch break or between commitments. Patricia focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life while working with each person to choose methods that match their needs.
