Patrice Levy , LCSW, CSW

Patrice Levy is a licensed social worker based in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials, professional social work licenses that indicate advanced clinical training and the ability to provide therapeutic care. Her practice centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs.

She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation. Her areas of focus also include ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of attention include codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, eating and food-related issues, family problems, impulsivity, self-harm, smoking or vaping cessation, women's issues, and young adult concerns.

Patrice emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach in which clients and therapist work together to explore thoughts, feelings, and practical steps for change. She aims to create an open environment where people can speak honestly and take gradual steps toward greater well-being. Taking the first step can feel difficult, and she focuses on supporting that process with empathy and practical strategies drawn from evidence-based practice.

She provides services in English and is not currently accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care

Patrice uses evidence-based approaches that focus on practical skills and thoughtful exploration. Cognitive and behavioral strategies help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop new habits - these approaches are often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and attention-related challenges. Skills-based relapse prevention and motivational work concentrate on building routines, coping tools, and motivation for change - these methods support recovery from substance use and help manage cravings and impulsivity. Trauma-informed supportive work emphasizes safety, pacing, and emotional regulation to address the impact of past harm and build resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains aligned with what the client needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access therapists from home or work, while still receiving structured, evidence-based care from licensed professionals.
