About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of experience helping people face anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes. She talks plainly and focuses on practical steps so worried parents can read clearly and decide quickly if she might be a fit. She draws on what a person already knows about themselves and helps build new skills.
Sessions often involve identifying thoughts that get in the way, trying short in-session exercises, and practicing different ways of responding between meetings.
Background and approach
Patrice favors simple tools that can be used at home, with an emphasis on small, steady progress. Her own story includes a major life transition that shaped her work. That experience influences how she helps people who face divorce, abandonment, or the loss of a relationship.
Patrice encourages clients to find strengths they may not yet see and to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Therapy with her is collaborative. She and the client form a team that looks at negative beliefs, locates personal resources, and rehearses new responses.
Books, research, and practical exercises are used when they help move the work forward. Patrice works with adults on issues such as depression, addictions, anger, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleep and eating struggles, and career decisions. She aims to help clients move from a place of pain or confusion toward clearer direction and calmer days.
Online approaches for anxiety and life transitions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so clients can tap into their own strengths. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a space to sort feelings before changing behavior.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to spot distorted thinking and test new reactions, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices. It can help people notice stress and respond with more calm instead of reacting automatically.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will pick or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and do guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or use text when writing things out helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or schedules change.
