About Patricia

Patricia Moise is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in the District of Columbia. She has ten years of experience supporting people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Patricia centers sessions on respect and collaboration.

She listens to a person’s story and works with them to set clear, manageable goals. Conversations are practical and focused on what will help in day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Her background includes helping people navigate abandonment and attachment concerns, control issues, effects of domestic violence, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, and social anxiety or phobia. She brings a calm, steady approach when these themes come up in therapy. Patricia adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs.

Some sessions zero in on coping skills for stress and anxiety. Other times the work looks at patterns in relationships and past experiences that continue to affect mood and confidence. She offers sessions in English and Haitian Creole and accepts international clients.

Therapy can include short practical exercises, talking through painful memories, and building routines that support better emotional balance. Her aim is to help people find clearer footing and stronger coping in everyday life.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Patricia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding patterns. One common approach helps people learn coping strategies for stress and anxiety, such as breathing, grounding, and routine changes that reduce overwhelm. These strategies are useful when parenting demands spike or daily obligations feel heavy.

Another area of focus addresses trauma and attachment-related patterns. This work often involves talking through past experiences, naming recurring relationship dynamics, and practicing new ways of relating that build emotional safety and clearer boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia collaborates with each person to identify goals and chooses methods that fit their needs and preferences. She tailors pace and techniques so the work feels manageable and useful.

Online formats make that collaborative work easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick support between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity in care around busy parenting schedules or work commitments.
