About Patrice
Patrice LaGrand is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes. Patrice approaches work with a straightforward, respectful style and centers the client's own knowledge about their life.
Patrice believes people already have strengths they can use to face hard things. Sessions aim to build on those strengths while addressing practical problems like mood, motivation, and relationship concerns.
How Patrice works
She encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels realistic and steady. Her approach blends talking through what matters now with tools that help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Patrice uses methods that help clarify values, set goals, and develop coping strategies that fit daily life.
She also offers focused conversations for people stuck on decisions or transitions. People often come to Patrice for help with career stress, intimacy-related worries, anger, or family-of-origin issues. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, life purpose questions, and feelings of isolation.
Patrice is attentive to cultural and life-stage factors that shape each person's situation. Sessions are available in English and offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on the therapist's availability.
Patrice aims to be a steady, practical ally while clients work toward clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day living.

Online support options
How practical approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking meaningful action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when people feel stuck, empty, or pulled away from goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports their own problem-solving and self-understanding.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patrice collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in and adjusts the plan so sessions stay focused and useful rather than locked into one method.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper, face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed; live chat and text messaging work well for shorter reflections, ongoing support, or when typing helps someone organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
