About Patience
Patience Ebini is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, and parenting challenges. She speaks English and French and is licensed in North Carolina and the District of Columbia. Her approach aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk.
Patience focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. She listens for what matters most and helps people develop coping strategies for panic, low mood, and substance use concerns. She also helps those dealing with the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse and people navigating the practical strains of parenting.
Her work includes attention to abandonment worries, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and the consequences of natural or human-caused disasters. She has supported those confronting divorce, domestic violence, immigration stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. First responder issues, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress are all within her stated focus areas.
Patience likes to build clear goals with each person and to break problems into manageable steps. Sessions emphasize realistic tools people can try between meetings and space to talk through difficult memories or decisions. She encourages clients to move at a pace that feels tolerable while facing painful topics.
If you decide to start therapy, she asks that you complete the brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits your life. The process begins with that short form and then a first session to set goals and plan next steps.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Patience uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and gradual change. One common approach emphasizes learning coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and brief behavioral experiments to test what helps in daily life. These tools are useful when panic or constant worry make routine tasks hard. Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care that helps people process difficult memories at a manageable pace. This involves pacing conversations, building safety and stability, and practicing skills to reduce intense reactions. For addiction concerns she emphasizes relapse prevention skills and planning to manage triggers and cravings with concrete steps. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Clients and the therapist check in and adjust methods as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful. The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Before booking, confirm current session options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help those living outside the therapist's immediate area, including international clients.Areas of expertise
