About Patricia
Patricia Foyder-DeVoe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, codependency patterns, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Patricia speaks English and Spanish and has long experience supporting clients through complex personal and interpersonal struggles.
She trained at Fordham University and began her career in community mental health, where she moved into a supervising psychotherapist role. After that she moved into private practice, working with individuals and adults on issues such as eating difficulties, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and career stress.
Patricia describes a therapy style that centers on honest, direct work and a trusting relationship. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns shape current behavior, while also using problem-focused techniques when they fit. Sessions are practical and goal-minded; she helps people name what they want to change and then works with them to build concrete steps.
In a typical session Patricia blends conversation about emotions and relationships with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when useful. She also uses emotionally-focused and solution-focused strategies to address intimacy and communication problems. This mix aims to address both lasting patterns and day-to-day coping skills.
People who tend to put others first, struggle to set boundaries, or repeatedly lose themselves in relationships will find straightforward help identifying those patterns. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site's booking flow.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the client and helping them set their own goals. It helps people who need more clarity about what they want and more confidence in making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation. It can help when stress or reactivity get in the way of setting boundaries or keeping promises to oneself.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as needs change over time. The decision about whether to focus on understanding past patterns or on building practical skills is made together.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The profile does not list specific online formats, so ask which options are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can shorten travel time, allow a quicker check-in between commitments, or remove the need to be on camera when a phone call works better. These practical benefits help people keep therapy part of their regular schedule.
