About Patrice

Patrice Harris is an LPC with two decades of clinical experience helping people move from pain and confusion toward renewed confidence and clearer goals. She draws on a personal journey through major life upheaval to inform a compassionate, strengths-based practice that emphasizes trust, collaboration, and practical change.

Background and approach

Clients work with her to reframe negative beliefs, identify distorted thinking patterns, and build emotional skills that support long-term growth. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques and client-centered support, using in-session exercises, relevant research, and reading recommendations to reinforce progress between meetings.

Patrice has substantial experience supporting adults navigating divorce, stage-of-life transitions, mood and anxiety concerns, grief, relationship and family challenges, and issues related to self-esteem, addiction, and trauma. She focuses on helping people recognize resources, set achievable goals, and transform overwhelming problems into manageable learning experiences.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Patrice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to structure online work in straightforward, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying and changing distorted thoughts and unhelpful behaviors through structured exercises and homework, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the client's own capacity for growth so that therapeutic goals emerge from the client's values and priorities.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then adapts techniques so the chosen methods fit the person's life and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time as goals evolve and progress is reviewed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support during life transitions, and integrate therapeutic practices into daily routines without long commutes.
