About Patrice
Patrice LaGrand is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) licensed in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, motivation concerns, self-esteem and confidence issues, and relationship or intimacy-related worries. Patrice also helps clients dealing with depression, life changes, anger, and career concerns.
She describes clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on personal strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long explanations. Patrice uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help with decision points and short-term goals.
Typical work includes setting small, doable goals, testing new behaviors, and reviewing what worked. Patrice aims to break problems into manageable pieces so clients can track change between sessions. She also addresses issues tied to aging, caregiving stress, chronic illness and disability, family of origin concerns, and postpartum depression.
Patrice practices in Michigan and works in English. She does not take international clients. Before scheduling, people should confirm the current session formats and any subscription details for their location.
How CBT and ACT can be used in online sessions
Patrice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify specific thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and then practice different responses. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term skills for stress, anxiety, or low mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps clarify what matters most and encourages small steps aligned with those values. ACT can be useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about choices. Client-Centered techniques keep the focus on what the client wants to address and how to pace the work.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice will review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the client finds helpful. Early sessions often focus on small experiments and clear goals so both client and therapist can see what fits.
