Patrick Fozard

Patrick Fozard is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. He welcomes conversations about guilt, shame, isolation, and the strain that can come from social anxiety. Patrick aims to make hard topics easier to talk about in straightforward, practical ways.

Patrick uses evidence-based techniques to build healthier coping strategies. He draws on approaches that address substance use, anger management, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that reduce overwhelm and increase control over daily reactions.

His practice emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere. Patrick aims to listen first, then work with each person to set clear goals. He supports people who are dealing with codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, and the specific pressures many men describe.

With ten years of clinical experience, Patrick brings steady clinical judgment and practical problem solving to sessions. He pays attention to how past experiences, including military-related trauma, shape current patterns of thinking and behavior. The work often includes learning new ways to respond when anger or shame arises.

Patrick encourages people to take therapy at their own pace. He helps clients build resilience through skill practice, tailored strategies, and regular check-ins. Progress is tracked in ways that fit everyday life and personal priorities.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Patrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes learning specific coping skills to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety; it teaches calming strategies, ways to break unhelpful patterns, and steps to respond differently in triggering situations. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and its effects, helping people understand how past events shape current reactions and teaching strategies to reduce reactivity and intrusive memories.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Patrick will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. He regularly checks in and adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and relevant to everyday life.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It can also let people access a licensed professional from home or work when that helps with consistency and follow-through.
