About Patrick
Patrick Fozard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with ten years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. He also focuses on issues such as codependency, substance use, guilt and shame, isolation, men’s issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
He uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage intense feelings and recurring patterns. Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Patrick aims to teach concrete skills that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.
In practice he talks through what happens in stressful moments and works with clients to try different ways of responding. He emphasizes building healthier coping strategies for substance use and anger. He also addresses the longer-term effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress in simple, step-by-step work.
Patrick pays particular attention to men’s mental health and issues that commonly affect veterans and service members. He offers a direct, nonjudgmental approach that helps clients name what they are feeling and make small changes that add up.
Clients can expect a focus on skill-building, clearer thinking about triggers, and practical techniques for reducing shame and isolation. Patrick’s sessions aim to be readable and usable in everyday life. To start, he asks for a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session based on that information.
Evidence-based techniques for online sessions
Patrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common method helps people notice triggers, name their emotions, and practice alternative responses in the moment. This approach suits stress, anger, and anxiety because it trains the body and mind to react differently to familiar cues.Another frequently used method works with trauma-related symptoms by gradually working through distressing memories while teaching grounding and coping skills. This aims to reduce the intensity of flashbacks and to build more reliable ways of managing triggers over time.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Patrick collaborates with clients to identify which techniques feel most useful. He will adapt methods based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use online work to help people practice new skills in the situations where they live and work.
