About Patricia

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York and New Jersey with 20 years of experience. Patricia Haversham-Brown focuses on addictions, LGBTQ concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.

Patricia uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. She listens to what matters to each person and then works with them to set clear goals. Sessions include direct conversation about triggers, patterns, and coping strategies that fit daily life.

When trauma or panic are present she helps people learn techniques to manage intense reactions and reduce avoidance. For addictions and anger she focuses on recognizing warning signs, changing routines, and building safer responses. For relationship stress she helps people identify communication patterns and set boundaries.

She attends to feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation and helps people work toward forgiveness for themselves or others if that fits their goals. The emphasis is on practical skills and small changes that add up over time. Patricia adapts the pace and focus to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script.

Patricia practices from a social work orientation and draws on evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. People who want a direct, problem-focused approach that includes both emotional processing and skill building may find this style useful. Before a first session she asks people to clarify what they want to address so sessions start with a clear plan.

Approaches used and how online sessions fit into care

Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptom management and behavior change. One common approach helps people learn grounding and breathing strategies to reduce panic and manage flashbacks. These tools train the body and mind to respond differently during sudden anxiety or trauma reminders.

Another common focus is cognitive and behavioral work to identify unhelpful thinking and change actions that keep a problem going. This approach is practical and geared toward changing routines, reducing triggers for addiction, and improving responses to anger.

Deciding which techniques to use is collaborative. Patricia works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can shift over time as progress is tracked and priorities change.

The original biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from wherever a person is located that supports their concentration. It can also make shorter check-ins or phone conversations an option when those are a better match for a given week. Licensed professionals typically adapt pacing and homework to fit remote work so therapy remains practical and focused.
