About Patrick
Patrick Fozard is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with ten years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Patrick also pays special attention to codependency, substance-related problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, men's issues, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Patrick keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He helps people name what feels most urgent, then works on small, manageable changes. Conversations often center on coping skills for strong emotions, patterns that keep problems repeating, and steps to reduce substance use or risky behaviors.
His approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach concrete tools for emotion regulation and relapse prevention. Sessions can include direct skill practice, problem-solving around daily routines, and planning for situations that trigger anxiety or anger. Patrick explains options in plain language and checks in about what is working for each person.
For men and for people who have served in the armed forces, Patrick gives extra attention to cultural pressures and role expectations that can make asking for help harder. He also supports people facing isolation, social anxiety, or shame, helping them rebuild connection and confidence one step at a time.
People who choose him can expect clear goals, regular review of progress, and practical homework between sessions when it helps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial appointment are the usual first steps.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based approaches focus on skills you can practice between meetings. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or social avoidance. These techniques are hands-on and often involve short exercises and behavior experiments that can be done during daily life.Trauma-focused methods concentrate on identifying triggers, learning grounding and emotion-regulation techniques, and building a gradual plan to face difficult memories or situations. For addiction-related work, sessions commonly review relapse triggers, develop coping plans, and set stepwise goals for reducing use and managing cravings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That collaborative decision is revisited regularly so the plan can change if something is not helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find these practical benefits helpful when juggling work, family, and health commitments.
