About Patricia
Patricia Van de Vyver is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with five years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, accepting presence and focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier in daily life. Patricia aims to make therapy a place for honest self-discovery and steady progress.
Patricia works with common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family of origin issues, codependency, grief, and the burn of compassion fatigue. She helps clients who are navigating life changes, career questions, parenting challenges, or chronic sleep and mood concerns.
Her approach centers on listening first, then choosing methods that match each person. She draws on client-centered work to build understanding, cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas are used when they fit the client’s goals.
Patricia says therapy should feel nonjudgmental and tailored to the individual. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change. She partners with people to set concrete goals and to build tools for coping, self-compassion, and better communication.
She is based in Michigan and conducts her practice in English. Scheduling is flexible to help clients find times that fit their routines. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and pick a time that works with the therapist’s availability.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person where they are. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people name their goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical strategies to change patterns and manage anxiety or depression. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss options and use the approaches that best fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as goals shift. If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and how sessions can be arranged to match your routine and goals.Areas of expertise
