Patrice Carroll, LICSW

Patrice Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who are juggling stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, caregiving burdens, and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, eating and body concerns, ADHD, and workplace issues.

Patrice centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats each client as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Her manner is straightforward and supportive, with attention to practical next steps that fit daily life.

In sessions she uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and emotionally-focused ideas alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. These tools are used to help people notice what matters, connect with emotions, and take small, doable steps toward change.

Patrice has worked with people affected by disability, aging and geriatric concerns, autism, traumatic brain injury, domestic violence, and caregiver stress. She also addresses obsessive-compulsive behaviors, hoarding, trichotillomania, and self-harm concerns when relevant to a person’s goals.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided through the formats described by the therapist. International clients are not accepted. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

How Patrice's Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every decision. It emphasizes values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are so they feel understood and can find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patrice will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are described by the therapist. People often find phone or video meetings useful for regular check-ins, while text can work for brief updates or checkpoint messages. These options can reduce travel time, help keep therapy consistent, and allow practical tools and exercises to be integrated into daily routines.
