About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, compassion fatigue, and attention challenges. She emphasizes a respectful, sensitive tone and aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Patrice draws on several practical approaches to shape sessions. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and patterns. She applies client-centered techniques that let each person lead the pace and focus of their work. Cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy help with skills for managing strong emotions and thinking patterns.
Over five years practicing in California, Patrice has supported people addressing self-esteem, social anxiety, workplace stress, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination. She also helps those dealing with loneliness, questions about life purpose, and the pain of abandonment or attachment wounds. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more self-compassion.
Patrice describes therapy as a collaborative effort. She listens first, then suggests small, practical steps to try between meetings. Progress is tracked in ways that fit each person’s goals and daily life.
Sessions are offered in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details during the Start Therapy process.
How Patrice’s approaches translate to online work
Patrice uses attachment-based ideas to notice how relationships shape emotions and behavior, which can help when addressing loneliness, abandonment wounds, and connection patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pace, letting conversations follow what feels most relevant in the moment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers clear, practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patrice will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their needs and goals. That may mean trying a few different techniques until a good fit emerges, with regular check-ins about progress and next steps.
