Patricia Lundy

Patricia Lundy is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in New York. She focuses on helping people through major life changes, including stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Her work often centers on relationship struggles and communication problems, and she also supports those facing midlife shifts and workplace strain.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Barnard College, Columbia University. Over two decades she has worked in hospital and community settings, supporting people through pregnancy and neonatal loss, postpartum mood concerns, and medical or geriatric diagnoses that bring new challenges.

Patricia emphasizes practical steps and steady support. She helps people recognize their strengths and build on them. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and coping tools people can use between meetings.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a belief that people can move beyond survival to thrive. She is experienced helping women navigate transitions such as childbirth, menopause, bereavement, and relationship change.

Patricia encourages a collaborative process where the person’s priorities guide the work. She asks questions, listens, and helps create a plan that fits everyday life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic methods and how they translate online

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and problem-solving. One common approach helps people break down overwhelming problems into smaller steps and build routines that reduce stress and anxiety. This style suits issues like worry, workplace strain, or adjustment after a major life event.

Another approach emphasizes grief processing and managing losses. It involves talking through memories, naming difficult feelings, and developing strategies to handle reminders and important dates. This method is often helpful for bereavement, pregnancy or neonatal loss, and other forms of loss that follow major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to current concerns, goals, and daily constraints and then suggest techniques that fit. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time. They also let people join from a quiet space that works for them and can help maintain continuity when life shifts or schedules change.
