About Patrice
Patrice LaGrand is a licensed social worker in Michigan with five years of professional experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and anger. Patrice centers conversations on the client's own goals and strengths so progress feels realistic and within reach.
She favors straightforward, conversational sessions where people name what matters to them. Patrice listens closely and helps clarify what is getting in the way of change.
Background and approach
Together they set small, doable goals that build confidence over time. Her approach blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy with a client-centered attitude. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try new actions, and reconnect with personal values.
Sessions often include concrete exercises and simple strategies to use between meetings. Patrice also draws on solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to boost momentum when someone feels stuck. She works with practical life concerns like career stress, caregiving strain, chronic health challenges, and transitions such as midlife changes or postpartum adjustment.
People looking for someone who listens without judgment and helps map clear next steps may find her style useful. Patrice offers phone, video, chat, and text-based sessions for flexible scheduling and ongoing support.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and life transitions because it focuses on doing what matters rather than eliminating feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy emphasizes spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors through concrete practice and homework. That makes it a good fit for stress, low mood, and relationship patterns because clients leave sessions with specific tools to try. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration and helps build confidence before trying new behaviors.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Patrice will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies when something isn’t helping, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, quick planning, and ongoing encouragement between appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into a busy life.
