Patricia Van de Vyver

Patricia Van de Vyver is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with five years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, career uncertainty, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life purpose questions. Patricia focuses on practical conversations that help people untangle what feels overwhelming right now.

She uses a mix of approaches to guide sessions, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy. In practice this means she listens for what matters most, helps people test new thinking and behaviors, and works on skills for handling strong emotions.

Patricia keeps sessions straightforward. She and the client set goals together and check progress as they go. Therapy can include talking through past patterns, trying new coping skills, and planning small steps for change. Conversations often focus on improving communication, reducing overwhelm, and clarifying next steps for work or personal life.

She notes flexibility in scheduling to fit different routines. Sessions are arranged by first completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first meeting. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Patricia offers services in English and does not take international clients. People interested in starting are asked to use the online options button, complete the questionnaire, and pick a first session time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's concerns back in clear language. It helps people clarify what matters and decide which changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into small parts and tests practical experiments to reduce anxiety and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss how different methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She works collaboratively to pick techniques that address stress, career questions, relationship patterns, or life purpose concerns, and adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, or let someone choose a format that reduces travel time. These practical benefits help people keep momentum while they test changes and practice new skills.
