Patricia Foyder-DeVoe

Patricia Foyder-DeVoe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and questions around self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports those coping with trauma, addictions, grief, and major life changes. Patricia communicates in English and Spanish and practices in New York.

Her work centers on building an honest, trusting relationship. She creates a judgment-free space where clients can talk through what matters to them. Patricia listens for each person's goals and then helps shape a plan to reach those goals.

Patricia draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that run beneath present difficulties. She pairs that perspective with practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when clients need concrete skills. Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered approaches also inform her work, depending on the issue at hand.

In sessions she helps people name problems, test new reactions, and practice clearer communication. That can mean learning ways to cope with anxiety, creating boundaries in relationships, or addressing eating and body-image concerns. Patricia also supports people navigating caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence.

She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. Clients are invited to shape the pace and focus of therapy. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the listed process.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Patricia commonly combines psychodynamic work with skill-focused methods to address current challenges. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat in relationships and emotional life, helping people understand why certain reactions keep happening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Patricia works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration can mean starting with short-term skills work, then moving into deeper exploration, or combining both from the start.

The biography does not specify which online session formats she offers, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can save travel time, allow a quicker midday check-in, or let someone choose shorter or more frequent meetings when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mood tracking, and communication skills work to remote formats so progress can continue between sessions.
