About Patrice
Patrice Harris, LPC, helps parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She draws on two decades of clinical experience to help people find steadier ground and clearer choices. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at parents who need solutions that can fit into busy lives.
Her work grew from personal experience. After a sudden divorce, she returned to school and built a therapy practice focused on helping people rebuild.
Background and approach
She emphasizes trust and partnership in sessions, treating clients as active problem-solvers rather than passive recipients. Sessions use hands-on exercises and real-world tools. Patrice helps clients spot distorted thoughts, reframe negative beliefs, and identify strengths to lean on.
She often recommends short readings or research-based activities between sessions to reinforce changes. Patrice uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and create a supportive space. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people stay present and manage intense emotions.
Over 20 years she has worked with people coping with divorce, parenting strain, addiction, relationship issues, and career shifts. She focuses on small, steady steps that lead to meaningful change. If a parent needs help reorganizing priorities, managing strong emotions, or rebuilding confidence, Patrice offers a clear, compassionate approach that aims to move them forward.

How Patrice's Methods Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy invites the therapist to follow your lead and focus on what matters to you. In practice this means sessions center on your priorities, and the therapist reflects and helps you clarify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses brief exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, mood issues, and parenting-related stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice strong emotions without being swept away, which can help with panic, rumination, and anger.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patrice will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She begins by learning what matters to the client, then adapts tools and exercises so they are doable between sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for more conversational work and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or follow-up between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, or other busy days.
