Patrice Levy , LCSW, CSW

Patrice Levy is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 11 years of direct clinical experience to her work with individuals and families. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials, which reflect advanced clinical social work training and professional licensure. Patrice focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and motivation, relationship and family challenges, ADHD, grief, sleep and eating issues, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder.

She works with adolescents, young adults, women, and members of the LGBT community, and she addresses related issues such as codependency, impulsivity, self-harm, and substance use. Patrice emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop practical coping skills. She supports clients facing life transitions, career challenges, parenting difficulties, and recovery-related goals including smoking and vaping cessation.

Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Patrice frames therapy as a collaborative process that helps clients build insight, resilience, and clearer goals. She practices from an evidence-based perspective and aims to help people move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Patrice is based in New Jersey and is not accepting clients at this time.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Patrice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. For people coping with trauma and abuse she emphasizes trauma-informed methods that focus on safety, grounding skills, and pacing to help process difficult experiences without becoming overwhelmed. For clients managing addictions and substance use, she employs targeted counseling strategies that address cravings, triggers, and relapse prevention while supporting motivation for change. She also uses skills-based interventions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and eating patterns, and build emotion regulation and problem-solving abilities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice works with clients to assess their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then adapts evidence-based tools to fit the individual. This partnership helps ensure treatment feels relevant and actionable rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy with Patrice is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice new skills between meetings with a licensed professional who can guide the process.
