About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She brings five years of clinical experience in California to practical, down-to-earth sessions.
Background and approach
Patrice emphasizes respect and clear communication in every meeting. She uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs.
In sessions she might focus on thoughts and behaviors, patterns from early relationships, or building skills for emotional regulation. Conversations are kept straightforward and goal-oriented so people can see what to try between meetings.
Clients often come for help with attention and focus, low self-esteem, or the lingering effects of past abuse. Patrice also supports people dealing with workplace stress, social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose.
She pays attention to how discrimination or prejudice has affected a person’s sense of self. Her style is warm and client-centered.
Patrice listens first, then works collaboratively to set small, manageable goals. She offers practical techniques and space to reflect on deeper relationship patterns.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapy approaches for online care and skills building
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building more stable connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, low self-esteem, and stress by teaching concrete tools to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance with skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; it can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patrice will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest approaches that fit your needs. You and the therapist will work together to try methods, adjust what isn’t helping, and choose what feels most useful over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in quickly or continue work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent work on stress, anxiety, focus, and relationship patterns while fitting therapy into daily life.
