About Patrice

Patrice Harris is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She brings five years of clinical experience in California to conversations about focus, concentration, and self-esteem. Her manner is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at making the first steps feel less daunting.

Patrice uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She listens closely to how past connections still affect current feelings, and she helps people name patterns that get in the way.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize practical skills for managing big emotions and daily tasks, along with space to understand deeper life themes. Common topics she addresses include workplace strain, social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and challenges tied to prejudice and discrimination. She also supports people dealing with abandonment or attachment-related worries, and those looking to build self-love and a clearer sense of purpose.

ADHD is listed among her focus areas when concentration and organization are part of someone’s concerns. Her style blends empathy with structured techniques. Patrice offers short-term problem solving and longer-term reflection depending on what a person needs.

She aims to be straightforward about goals and to track progress in ways that make sense for each client. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Patrice works collaboratively to set goals, teach coping tools, and adjust strategies as people move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify repeating relationship dynamics and build new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means learning specific coping skills, testing new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing results together.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize relationship patterns, skill-building, or a blend of methods and then adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep momentum between longer sessions and to get brief support during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while working toward clearer focus and better emotional balance.
