About Patricia
Patricia Haversham-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of practice in New York and New Jersey. She works with adults who are facing addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, anger, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also addresses concerns such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, isolation or loneliness, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.
She uses straightforward conversation to clarify what the person is most troubled by. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Patricia adapts how she talks and plans work to the needs a person brings to each meeting.
Her style is respectful and sensitive, and she listens for what keeps someone stuck. She helps people name their feelings and notice patterns that feed shame, guilt, and anger. When addictions or panic are part of the problem, she blends attention to behavior with coping strategies for intense moments.
Patricia has two decades of experience in clinical settings. That experience includes work with people navigating trauma and the effects it leaves behind. She draws on methods that are supported by evidence and on practical tools people can try between sessions.
People who contact her usually start by describing the specific problem they want to change. From there she and the person map an approach that focuses on short-term goals and step-by-step progress. The emphasis is on clarity, manageable skills, and steady problem solving over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, addiction, and strong emotions. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this helps when guilt, shame, or recurring worry keep someone stuck. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing intense reactions such as panic or anger, teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral steps to reduce immediate distress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The focus is on practical techniques and clear goals rather than labels or fixed programs.
