About Patrice
Patrice LaGrand is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, and life changes. She also supports people facing career concerns, anger, and family-related questions including family of origin issues.
Her approach centers on collaborative conversation and practical skills. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters most, identifying patterns that repeat from earlier life, and testing small changes that can shift daily routines. Patrice uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and values-based work to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the client’s perspective central. That means listening for each person’s goals and adjusting pace based on what feels manageable. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear when someone wants to set short-term goals or build motivation for change.
Patrice pays attention to broader life pressures such as caregiving responsibilities, chronic illness, aging concerns, or cultural issues that shape how people cope. Conversations can include practical strategies for managing stress and steps to rebuild confidence after difficult periods.
Sessions are conducted in English and operate through an online subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
How Patrice Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values. It can help when people feel stuck by guiding choices toward what matters most rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete practices for noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice discusses methods with each person and adjusts based on their goals and preferences. That means trying a few techniques, checking how they land, and shifting the plan if something does not fit the client’s needs.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are hectic. They can also help when someone prefers not to use video or needs a format that requires less bandwidth. The therapist and client will pick the best way to meet that fits schedules and practical needs.
