About Patricia
Patricia Foyder-DeVoe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist. She practices in New York and speaks English and Spanish. Patricia draws on long experience helping people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes.
Her work emphasizes an honest, respectful relationship. She creates a calm space where people can talk through painful events and figure out next steps. Patricia pays attention to the person behind the problem and helps identify clear goals for therapy.
Patricia uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She leans on psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape present patterns. She also draws from client-centered methods that center the client's perspective and from cognitive and behavioral techniques that address current thoughts and habits.
Across her practice she has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, coping with life changes, and stress from caregiving or illness. She also addresses concerns like body image, eating-related issues, addiction, and relationship or intimacy-related problems. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among her focus areas.
Patricia works with adults on parenting, career challenges, and issues such as ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She aims to give practical tools and steady support so people can manage symptoms and move toward their goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and choices, giving space for people to describe what matters most and set their own goals. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating big life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems like disordered eating or problematic habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for regulating intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing relationship difficulties. It is useful when people need step-by-step tools to cope in the moment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins between appointments. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm available formats before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in remote sessions, balancing conversation, skill practice, and goal-setting so therapy fits everyday routines.
