About Patrice

Patrice Harris is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people facing anxiety, stress, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Patrice aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients can talk about what feels hard and start making small changes.

Her work focuses on practical goals like improving concentration, managing ADHD-related challenges, and building self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with social anxiety, feelings of abandonment, and isolation or loneliness. Patrice pays attention to how relationships and life roles affect daily struggles at home and at work.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Methods include attachment-based work to understand relationship patterns and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered listening and elements of psychodynamic and dialectical behavior approaches when they fit the client's needs.

Patrice keeps therapy straightforward and collaborative. Conversations tend to focus on current problems, practical strategies, and small experiments to test new ways of coping. She works with people who want clear steps and gentle challenge to move forward.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow California practice standards. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How Patrice’s approaches translate to online work

Patrice uses attachment-based ideas to help people see how past and current relationships shape their feelings. This approach looks at patterns that leave someone feeling disconnected and helps them try new ways of relating that reduce loneliness.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers clear tools for anxiety, social worry, and managing focus and attention in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patrice works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques and adjusting plans as needs change.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose not to use video if that makes it easier to focus. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire to plan what will work best for you.
