About Patricia
Patricia Foyder-DeVoe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping people face anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and big life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in New York. Patricia aims for honest, straightforward conversations so people can start making small changes quickly.
Her approach centers on building trust and listening closely to what each person brings to the room. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns from the past, and she combines those with practical strategies to manage symptoms now.
How Patricia works
Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools rather than jargon. Patricia works with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, body image and eating issues, parenting stress, career questions, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiving. She also helps people facing attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, communication problems, and intimacy-related struggles.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that mixes longer-term reflection with solution-focused steps. Patricia uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and psychodynamic work as needed. The goal is practical coping skills plus a clearer sense of personal patterns.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Many people appreciate the flexible formats for busy lives or for keeping therapy manageable between appointments.

Online support options
How approach and online care come together
Patricia often combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address both feelings and behavior. Client-Centered work means the conversation is guided by the person seeking help, with the therapist offering acceptance and reflection to deepen self-understanding. CBT adds hands-on techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT offers clear skills for handling intense feelings, improving relationships, and managing urges that can accompany addictions or self-destructive behavior. Together these approaches let Patricia tailor sessions to immediate problems and longer-term goals in a collaborative way.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose methods that fit. That collaboration helps people feel involved in planning their care and builds practical steps toward change.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments, share brief updates, or get immediate coping ideas. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different communication styles.
