About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She guides clients who are trying to improve focus, concentration, and self-esteem. Patrice writes in a calm, respectful way and aims to make the therapy room feel nonjudgmental and workable for day-to-day life.
She practices client-centered therapy, which puts the person's experience and goals first. Patrice listens closely and adapts sessions to what each person needs rather than following a strict script. That approach helps people feel heard and take the lead on what they want to change.
Her work also draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, while cognitive behavioral strategies focus on changing thoughts and behaviors that increase stress or anxiety. Patrice mixes these ideas in practical ways during sessions.
Patrice has five years of experience as an LMFT in California. She combines that experience with a straightforward, compassionate style. Sessions tend to focus on small, achievable steps that fit into a person's real life.
Typical concerns she addresses include ADHD-related focus issues, social anxiety and phobia, feelings of abandonment or isolation, and workplace stress. She also helps people explore life purpose, self-love, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on mental health. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. Online sessions using this approach begin with the client's priorities and move at the client's pace, emphasizing listening and collaborative goal setting.Attachment-based therapy looks at relationship patterns that shape how someone connects with others. When used online it can help people notice repeating patterns, work through feelings of abandonment or loneliness, and practice new ways of relating in everyday life.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT often includes practical homework and short exercises to try between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adjusting techniques when something isn't helping.
