Patrice Harris, LPC

Patrice Harris is an LPC with 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She brings a calm, practical style and focuses on restoring confidence after major changes. Patrice often works with adults facing separation, commitment questions, parenting strain, and challenges related to aging and geriatric issues.

Her approach begins with building trust. Patrice treats therapy as teamwork. She helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and reframe beliefs that hold them back. Sessions include straightforward exercises, reflections, and discussions of useful resources or books.

Patrice draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot distorted thinking and mindfulness practices to reduce anxiety and improve emotional awareness. These methods are offered in everyday language and practical steps clients can use between sessions.

She understands how breakup, loss, and life shifts can feel overwhelming at first. Patrice helps people find small, steady changes that lead to stronger coping and clearer priorities. She emphasizes skill-building so clients leave with tools they can use on their own.

Patrice practices in Alabama and has spent two decades refining a respectful, down-to-earth style. People who want a direct, collaborative therapist who names patterns and teaches concrete skills may find her approach helpful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters to the client, asks clarifying questions, and supports the client's own problem-solving. It helps people who want a supportive space to sort priorities and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include identifying distorted thoughts, trying new behaviors between meetings, and practicing short in-session exercises to shift thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood regulation. These techniques can help with panic, sleep difficulties, and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many clients find that remote sessions let them practice skills in their everyday routines and carry progress into daily life.
