About Patrice

Patrice Harris is a licensed marriage and family therapist with five years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She focuses on practical steps to improve focus, self-esteem, and everyday functioning. Patrice aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for someone feeling overwhelmed.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She combines that with client-centered listening so people feel heard while deciding what change matters most.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used when skills for emotion regulation and thinking habits are needed. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and small, doable actions. Patrice helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses between sessions.

She also addresses issues like abandonment, isolation, social anxiety, workplace stress, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. People dealing with attention challenges and ADHD can work on strategies to improve focus and structure. Women’s issues, finding life purpose, and building self-love are also common topics in her practice.

Patrice works with each person to match approach and pacing to their needs. She keeps language simple and practical so clients can apply what they learn in daily life.

Online support

How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online

Patrice blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional reactions, helping people notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating. Client-centered therapy prioritizes listening and collaborative goal-setting so people set the pace and topics for each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Patrice will discuss different methods and adapt them to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a team effort where the therapist and client try approaches, review what helps, and adjust as needed.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity, fit therapy into work or family schedules, and practice new skills in real time.
