About Patricia

Patricia Fraser helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those facing communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety. Patricia is based in New York and brings 39 years of professional experience to her practice.

She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on listening first, then on practical steps that fit each person's life. Patricia works at a steady pace and encourages small changes that build confidence. Her approach centers on understanding what matters most to the client.

She helps identify patterns that keep problems stuck and then tries different ways to shift them. Conversations cover skills for coping with stress, ways to manage anxiety, and strategies to rebuild energy after loss. Patricia values clear communication and often works on improving how people express needs and set boundaries.

She supports people working toward forgiveness and healing from shame or guilt. Sessions can include problem-solving, goal setting, and work on self-compassion. People who come to her for depression or low self-esteem can expect a mix of short-term coping tools and longer-term work on belief and behavior change.

Patricia encourages practical exercises between sessions when those fit the client’s goals. She aims to be a steady, respectful partner in each person’s journey toward feeling better.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Patricia uses evidence-based techniques that focus on concrete skills and understanding patterns. One common approach she relies on teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These techniques help reduce immediate symptoms and build confidence for daily life.

She also works with methods that address mood and behavior over time by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. This helps with depression, low self-esteem, and feelings of guilt or shame by turning insight into small, sustainable changes.

Finding the right fit is a joint effort. Patricia discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts the approach as needed. She encourages collaboration so the plan matches what a person wants and what feels doable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people read facial expressions and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, quick coping reminders, or when writing is easier than speaking. These options aim to make regular therapy more manageable for busy lives.
