About Patrice

Patrice Harris is a licensed marriage and family therapist who draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Clients encounter an approach that emphasizes clear goals, skills practice, and understanding underlying patterns that shape thoughts and behavior. Working in California for five years, Patrice frames therapy around respect and sensitivity, tailoring sessions to each person’s priorities and life context.

She also supports exploration of attachment-related concerns, feelings of isolation, and issues around identity and prejudice. The tone of her work is collaborative and nonjudgmental, inviting clients to build practical coping tools while exploring deeper emotional themes and personal values.

Patrice holds the CA LMFT 134545 license and offers services in English. Her practice balances short-term, solution-focused strategies with longer-term reflective work so clients can pursue both symptom relief and meaningful change over time.

Approach-oriented online therapy that fits your life

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and attention-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to illuminate how current relational needs and fears influence present-day emotions and reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s goals guide the pace and content of sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice works with each person to combine these methods in a way that aligns with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting strategies over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access therapeutic support from home or while on the go. These formats make it easier to fit consistent sessions into busy schedules and to maintain momentum between meetings through messaging options and check-ins.
