About Patricia
Patricia Haversham-Brown is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and panic disorder and panic attacks. She offers a calm, respectful approach and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Patricia speaks plain language and aims to make each session feel manageable for someone who may be anxious or overwhelmed.
With two decades of professional experience, Patricia draws on what has worked for many people facing similar issues. She listens carefully and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Sessions center on clear goals, learning coping skills, and testing changes between meetings.
Patricia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship. She supports individuals through shame, guilt, isolation, and the long shadows of past trauma while helping them find concrete ways to move forward. Her way of working mixes direct guidance with space for personal reflection.
She holds LCSW credentials in New York and New Jersey, and has spent years helping people manage strong emotions and painful experiences. Patricia encourages small, steady steps toward greater day-to-day control and relief.
If someone is unsure what to expect, she suggests starting with a short conversation to outline concerns and set simple first goals. That initial planning helps people see what a realistic path forward might look like.
How therapeutic approaches and online work come together
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage overwhelming reactions and improve day-to-day coping. One common approach focuses on teaching specific skills to reduce panic and strong emotional reactions, such as grounding strategies and gradual exposure to feared situations. These skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions to build confidence.Another approach involves working through trauma and its emotional impact by helping people name experiences, process difficult feelings, and reduce shame and guilt. This method aims to make memories and reactions less disruptive to daily life while strengthening current coping options.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan over time so it fits their needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make regular scheduling easier, help fit therapy into a busy day, and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid the need for camera use if that makes participation easier.
