About Patricia
Patricia Foyder-DeVoe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist. She approaches therapy with honesty and warmth, aiming to build a trusting relationship where people can speak openly about their struggles. Patricia focuses on practical goals and clear steps so clients know what to work toward in each session.
She draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand recurring patterns and past influences. At the same time she mixes in techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those tools fit the issue. This blend lets her address mood, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems with both insight and concrete skills.
Many people come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around relationships or parenting. She also supports those coping with grief, addiction, major life changes, body image and eating concerns, and issues connected to attachment and abandonment. Money and financial issues are among the areas she can talk through as they relate to life stress and relationships.
Patricia has worked in community mental health and private practice in New York. Her style emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where clients set goals and learn tools to manage emotions and improve communication. Sessions move at a pace that fits each person’s needs.
She offers services in English and Spanish. Prospective clients are invited to decide on goals together and to try approaches that match their situation and preferences.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia uses Client-Centered and Psychodynamic ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can find their own solutions; this helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from the past that repeat in the present and can be useful for people who want deeper understanding of recurring problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before choosing methods together. She adjusts strategies as work progresses so sessions stay relevant to the client’s needs.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist and client can choose a rhythm and format that make it easier to practice skills between sessions and follow through on agreed goals.
