About Patrice
Patrice Carroll is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on workplace and wellbeing concerns alongside common issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Patrice encourages clients to use their own strengths as a starting point for change.
Patrice takes a collaborative, respectful stance in sessions. She listens first and follows each person's lead about what feels most useful. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and emotionally focused work to help people notice what matters and take next steps.
She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and those managing caregiving or disability-related stress. Patrice also supports concerns around self-esteem, relationship strain, eating and body worries, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with older adults, young adults, and people facing workplace challenges.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the person. Patrice helps clients name realistic goals, try new actions, and reflect on what helps them feel steadier. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support behavior change when that is a focus.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and Patrice aims to make that step clearer and gentler. She invites clients to describe what they need, then builds a plan together that fits their life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Patrice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and reflecting back what a person says so they can better understand their own choices and strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help clients test what fits best. She tailors techniques to goals, preferences, and the concerns someone brings to sessions rather than insisting on one method.
The original biography indicates Patrice is open to video, phone, or text sessions, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use approaches like mindfulness practices and values-based exercises in moments that suit their daily routines.
