About Patricia

LCSW in New York with 39 years of clinical experience, Patricia Fraser helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She works with concerns such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Patricia focuses on creating an open environment where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions center on practical conversation and reflection. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding.

Her approach emphasizes clear goals and steady progress. That can mean working on coping skills for anxiety, practicing communication steps for relationship strain, or processing grief at a manageable pace. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide decisions about which tools to use.

Patricia draws on decades of experience to recognize common traps people fall into when they feel stuck. She encourages short-term strategies to reduce distress, alongside deeper work about self-worth and life direction when that fits the client's needs.

Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. Patricia helps clients set concrete next steps between appointments. She also reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan as needed.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on symptom relief and practical change. One common approach she uses is brief coping skills work that teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety and low mood, such as breathing practices, thought-challenging, and activity planning. This helps when symptoms are interfering with daily tasks. Another approach is structured communication work that breaks down conversations into clear steps and rehearsal exercises, which can reduce conflict and improve clarity in strained relationships.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will review goals, try methods, and adjust as progress is observed. Clients and the therapist discuss what feels helpful and decide together which techniques to keep using or change.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family, or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed and let people avoid travel time. Discuss session length and pacing with her when scheduling to match the rhythm of everyday life.
