Brittany Croley, MA, Lmhc, Lcat

Brittany Croley, MA, Lmhc, Lcat

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

Patrice Boyce

Therapist

Virtual • New York


You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. The kind of weight that doesn't show on the outside but makes everything feel harder: getting through a workday, trusting people, feeling safe in your own body. Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, or anxiety — or healing from experiences of sexual or physical abuse — you don't have to keep managing this alone. I work with adults across New York, including women, Black and multicultural clients, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are done shrinking and ready for something to actually shift.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Syracuse, NY

Searching for addiction therapists in Syracuse starts with finding care that fits the kind of support you need. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, chemical dependency, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to choose a therapist who can coordinate with other healthcare professionals when needed.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, the number of local addiction therapists may vary by location, schedule, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed therapists in New York. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and has experience with nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed care. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach, what addiction-related concerns they list, and whether their communication style feels like a practical fit.

Addiction therapy in Syracuse can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you compare addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
