Patrice Harris

Patrice Harris is an LPC who helps people navigate the hard parts of life. She often works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the fallout of major relationship changes. Her experience includes supporting people through addiction, intimacy questions, parenting strain, and specifically divorce and separation concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She builds trust first and treats therapy as a team effort. Patrice uses client-centered listening to understand each person's goals and then applies practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Sessions focus on spotting distorted thinking, finding existing strengths, and practicing new skills in session. She uses short exercises, reading suggestions, and idea-based work to connect thoughts and behaviors to daily life. Clients leave with concrete steps they can use between meetings.

Patrice draws on twenty years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Alabama. That background informs a calm, steady style that aims to help people move from pain toward a stronger sense of self. She supports people through life changes like separation, aging transitions, and career shifts.

People who meet with Patrice can expect a gentle but direct style. The work is practical and paced to the person. She encourages clients to name goals, try new approaches, and track progress so the change felt in sessions carries into everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people name goals and strengths, which can guide online conversations in the same way it does in person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to spot distorted thinking and practice different responses, which works well in session-based conversations and homework between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and to bodily and emotional signals. Short mindfulness practices can be taught and practiced during sessions and then used throughout the week to reduce stress and reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. That means adjusting pace, choosing exercises that feel doable, and checking in about what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use exercises between sessions. Discussing logistics up front helps fit sessions into everyday life.
