About Patrick

Patrick Fozard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with ten years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical ways to handle strong emotions and life stressors.

He often helps people who are facing isolation, social anxiety, or codependency. He also brings experience supporting veterans and those with post-traumatic stress. Patrick pays attention to how guilt and shame can keep someone stuck, and he addresses substance use concerns alongside emotional work.

In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach coping skills and to change unhelpful patterns. The work is straightforward and action oriented - identifying triggers, learning new responses, and practicing those skills between meetings. He emphasizes real-world strategies for managing anger and reducing repeated conflicts.

Patrick prioritizes men's mental health and understands pressures that can affect how men express emotion. He aims to help people build resilience and clearer boundaries so daily life feels more manageable. The focus is on what the client wants to change and on concrete steps to get there.

People are invited to describe the problems that matter most to them and to set practical goals. Patrick uses his clinical background to guide the process, adapting techniques as progress is assessed and goals evolve.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Patrick draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach teaches how to recognize triggers, interrupt automatic reactions, and practice alternative responses; it helps with anger, anxiety, and stress by breaking habitual patterns. Another approach emphasizes exposure and gradual practice for social anxiety and avoidance, helping someone build tolerance for difficult situations and reduce avoidance over time.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they assess progress and adjust techniques when something is not working as hoped.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins during breaks or after work. It can also let people use sessions to practice skills in real-world routines, keeping changes practical and immediate.
