About Patience

Patience Ebini is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) licensed in the District of Columbia, with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting, and depression. She sees people who are dealing with painful past events and current pressures that make daily life harder.

Her work centers on clear, practical conversations. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and try straightforward steps to manage symptoms. Sessions involve talking through recent problems, testing out small changes, and checking what helps over time.

Patience draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, addictive behaviors, and mood concerns. She pays attention to how stress and life events affect thinking, behavior, and relationships. That means breaking down big problems into smaller, manageable tasks and tracking progress over weeks.

She also brings experience supporting people through family-related strains such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and immigration-related stress. First responder issues, post-traumatic stress, and substance use concerns are part of her caseload.

Sessions are offered in English and French, and she accepts international clients. The intake process uses a short matching questionnaire and scheduling system to set up the first session. Cost varies by location and is billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work

Approach to evidence-based care and online sessions

Patience works using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how past events and current behavior interact. One common approach she uses addresses trauma by helping people put what happened into context, reduce distressing symptoms, and practice coping skills to manage triggers. Another typical method targets addictive behavior by examining patterns, identifying high-risk situations, and building alternative routines and coping strategies that reduce reliance on substances or behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to match techniques to specific goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing progress, and adjusting methods when something is not helping.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work and family demands and keeping continuity when schedules change. Because session formats were not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to attend regular check-ins, shorten some appointments for brief follow-up, or avoid travel time so therapy fits into busy days.
