About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. She writes simply and directly, and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Patrice aims to help people move from pain and confusion toward greater calm and clearer direction.
Her own life shift inspired this work. After a painful separation early in parenthood she returned to school and built a counseling practice.
Background and approach
That experience shaped a belief that change is possible even when things feel impossible. In sessions she starts by building trust and by believing in each person's capacity to grow. Patrice treats therapy as a team effort.
She listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients name unhelpful beliefs that get in the way. Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices. That means sessions include focused conversation, simple in-session exercises, and practical homework when needed.
She uses research and books as tools clients can try between sessions. Patrice has spent 20 years supporting adults through divorce, major life transitions, mood concerns, addictions, trauma and parenting challenges. She helps people pinpoint resources, change distorted thoughts, and build stronger emotional skills.
The aim is steady progress - small wins that add up to lasting change.

Approaches for online work and practical coping
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's own goals. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients identify their strengths so they can make choices that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete strategies to change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them; it often helps with stress and emotional reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice collaborates with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily life. She combines listening, skill-building, and short exercises so the plan matches each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions can make regular therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and in-session exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates between sessions or check in when writing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or busy schedules.
