About Patrice
Patrice Harris is an LPC with twenty years of counseling experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, depression, grief, relationship strain, or life changes. Her tone is practical and hopeful, aimed at people looking for steady, realistic steps forward.
Her own life shifted when a major relationship ended and she found herself raising a young child alone. That experience led her back to school and into a helping role. She draws on two decades of practice supporting adults through divorce, career shifts, parenting challenges, and the slow work of rebuilding trust in oneself.
In sessions she aims to build a trusting working relationship first. She treats the client as an equal partner and focuses on identifying unhelpful beliefs. They work together to reframe negative thoughts and spot strengths that have been overlooked.
Patrice uses short exercises in session and often draws on research and books to support the work. She names distorted thinking and helps people try different responses until new habits take hold. The approach is steady and hands-on rather than abstract.
People who come to her typically want practical ways to manage stress, lower anxiety or navigate major changes. She encourages gradual progress and sets concrete steps clients can use between sessions. If you want a therapist who emphasizes teamwork and clear tools, she invites you to begin the work now.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own path. The therapist reflects back what she hears, supports the person's choices, and builds trust so clients can try new ways of thinking and acting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It helps pinpoint distorted or unhelpful thoughts and practices small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These tools can help when panic or strong emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods to try first based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses, and adjustments are part of the process.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, offer quicker check-ins, and reduce commuting time. It can also allow shorter or more flexible meetings when life gets hectic. Ask about current options when you begin the matching process.
