About Patricia
LMSW Patricia Van de Vyver has five years of clinical experience in Michigan. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting, career issues, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She works using client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic techniques.
Patricia aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered work to listen and respond to what people bring. She pairs that with CBT and DBT skills when someone needs tools for thinking patterns, emotion regulation, or behavior changes. Motivational interviewing is used to explore readiness for change.
Her approach includes talking through patterns that come from family of origin and past relationships. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, control issues, and recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, and loneliness are frequent topics she helps people sort out.
Patricia brings psychodynamic ideas into the conversation when it helps people understand deeper feelings and recurring patterns. She also works on practical goals like improving sleep, managing panic, and coping with seasonal mood shifts. Sessions may include skill practice, reflective conversation, and problem-solving.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote work
Patricia commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what a person brings to the session, helping them clarify their concerns and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces practical strategies to change them.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy tools when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills teach concrete ways to manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behavior, and improve interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the early process. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, concerns, and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and exploration, then adding skill-based work or deeper psychodynamic reflection as appropriate.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when that fits their schedule.
