Patrice Carroll

Patrice Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in Massachusetts. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to self-esteem and relationships. She also offers support around women's issues, parenting, LGBT concerns, and workplace strain.

Patrice emphasizes that people are the experts on their own lives. She looks for existing strengths and practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions are framed around the client's goals and paced to match where they are in the moment.

Her background includes work with clients who have disabilities, caregiver stress, and trauma-related concerns. She brings experience with a broad range of issues including eating and hoarding behaviors, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and compassion fatigue. This variety informs a flexible approach to common life difficulties.

In sessions she uses acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, emotionally-focused methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to clarify values, calm intense feelings, and encourage doable change. Patrice keeps language straightforward and focuses on what will help between sessions.

She works in English and practices in Massachusetts. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Patrice’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are strong. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about relationships or work. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding without judgment so clients can explore their own solutions at their own pace. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to emotional patterns in relationships and aims to help people identify and shift those patterns to feel more connected and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice will discuss which methods make sense for your goals and preferences and adjust as you go. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where your priorities guide what is tried next.

The biography notes openness to video, phone, or text sessions, but you should confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Phone or text sessions can be helpful when you prefer not to be on camera or need a lower-bandwidth option. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the focus on your goals.
