About Patrick
Patrick Fozard is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. He focuses on issues many men bring to therapy and understands pressures that can make asking for help difficult. His approach is practical and direct, aimed at building skills that make daily life more manageable.
Patrick spends sessions listening closely and then suggesting steps clients can try between meetings. He uses methods drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address substance use, anger, and post-traumatic stress. Work often includes recognizing patterns, practicing new coping skills, and reducing shame and guilt.
He has about ten years of experience in social work and clinical practice, with particular attention to veterans and people dealing with isolation or social anxiety. That background informs his work with trauma and addiction concerns without assuming a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client. Patrick aims to help people build resilience and practical strategies they can use outside therapy. He emphasizes straightforward conversation and concrete exercises rather than abstract theory.
People who choose him should expect a steady, evidence-focused process that targets everyday problems. If you want help managing stress, reducing substance use, or working through trauma-related emotions, Patrick offers a focused, nonjudgmental style to support those goals.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Many of the techniques Patrick uses come from evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on real-world skills. One commonly used approach teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce avoidance. These tools help people regain a sense of control in day-to-day situations.Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process painful memories in small, manageable steps while building emotional regulation skills. This often involves learning to notice triggers, practice calm-down strategies, and try new responses to old patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patrick collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than offering a single fixed plan. He checks in regularly and adjusts the focus as progress is made.
