Patrice Bazer , LCSW

Patrice Bazer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Casper, Wyoming. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan in 2010 and brings nine years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and their families. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, school problems, family conflict, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, trauma, abuse and neglect, and behavioral issues.

In addition to those core areas, Patrice works with stress, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, parenting, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and career-related challenges. She also focuses on attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, and young adult issues. Patrice blends a client-centered, goal-oriented stance with techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create practical, tailored plans of care.

She emphasizes meeting clients where they are and partnering with them to set and pursue meaningful goals. Patrice fosters an open, non-judgmental space for exploring difficult emotions and life transitions, helping people build coping skills and move toward the changes they want to achieve.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Patrice Bazer draws from several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can explore their experiences at their own pace and define meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a helpful option for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Patrice partners with clients to review their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which strategies to use and how to adapt them over time. This collaborative process helps ensure that treatment feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions using video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from wherever clients are located within Wyoming. These options provide flexibility in how and when people engage, supporting continuity of care and practical access to licensed professionals and therapists.
