About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, self-esteem struggles, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. Patrice also helps with parenting, career questions, sleep and eating issues, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her own experience of a sudden separation early in parenthood shaped why she went into counseling. That period of shock and rebuilding led her to return to school and earn her LPC. She now draws on two decades of clinical work with people navigating divorce and other major life changes.
Patrice’s approach is straightforward and practical. She starts by building trust and treating the client as an active partner. Together they identify negative beliefs, notice distorted thoughts, and work to reframe unhelpful thinking that feeds anger, anxiety, or depression.
Sessions often include in-room exercises and reference to research or short readings. Patrice helps clients spot patterns from their family of origin, address guilt or shame, and strengthen emotional skills so daily triggers cause less escalation. She frames progress as gradual practice rather than a single fix.
Clients who want practical steps get clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to manage overwhelming emotion. Her client-centered stance keeps the client's goals front and center while applying those tools. She asks people to try small, doable changes and notices what works next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patrice uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's goals front and center by listening, reflecting, and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps surface values and priorities that guide practical change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete exercises to identify distorted thinking, test beliefs, and practice alternative responses for anger, anxiety, and low mood.
Mindfulness techniques are used to increase moment-to-moment awareness of emotion and bodily signs of rising anger. Short breathing or attention exercises help reduce reactivity and give clients options for pausing before responding.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is collaborative. Patrice will work with the client to see what fits their needs and preferences, adjusting methods as sessions progress. The therapist and client decide together whether to lean more on skills practice, reflective listening, or mindfulness work.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes it easier to follow through on short at-home practices, and lets sessions happen without travel time. Online sessions can allow quieter check-ins, shorter skills-focused meetings, or the same full-length work as an in-person session depending on the format chosen.
