Patrice Bazer , LCSW

Patrice Bazer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Casper, Wyoming. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan in 2010 and brings years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and families through a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - a credential indicating advanced training in social work and clinical interventions.

Her work focuses on issues such as depression, anxiety, school difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, and behavioral problems. She also addresses a broad set of related concerns including stress, coping with life changes, parenting and family problems, body image and eating issues, attachment and intimacy-related challenges, and mood disorders.

Patrice describes her approach as client-centered and goal-oriented, meeting people where they are and collaborating to set practical, achievable goals. She integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Her practice emphasizes openness and a nonjudgmental environment where clients and caregivers can explore concerns, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Patrice frequently draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes listening and collaboration, and it can be especially helpful for building trust, exploring values, and clarifying personal goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are incorporated when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or impulsivity are primary concerns - DBT teaches concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patrice works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists tailor the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make therapy more accessible for busy schedules, long-distance caregivers, and those who prefer different modes of communication, while preserving the core benefits of regular therapeutic work.
