About Patrice
Patrice LaGrand is a licensed social worker in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She centers her work on building on each person's strengths and treating them as the expert in their own story. Patrice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation so they can move toward a more satisfying life.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Patrice listens first and then helps clients identify small, doable steps toward change. She uses goal-focused techniques alongside deeper conversation to help people notice what matters and act on it. Sessions aim to be collaborative and respectful of each person's pace.
Patrice draws from several evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. These tools are used to address mood concerns like depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and life transitions. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and concerns related to aging.
Additional areas Patrice works with include family of origin issues, forgiveness, hoarding, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, and postpartum depression. She also offers help for those coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Patrice brings a calm, patient presence while helping clients find practical ways forward.
People who benefit from her style are those ready to try concrete strategies while reflecting on what they value. Patrice aims to empower clients to take steps that fit their daily lives and long-term goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns, often helping with stress, low mood, and worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and supports people as they find their own solutions and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patrice will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to blend practical skill-building with supportive conversation so clients can try things and adjust the plan as they go.
