About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and related struggles such as self-esteem, anger, addictions, and intimacy.
She came to counseling after a major life change in her own life and returned to school while raising a young child. That lived experience shaped why she chose this work. She now helps people who are facing divorce or separation, life-stage transitions, and those trying to rebuild confidence and purpose.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She works together with each person to spot negative beliefs and unhelpful thought patterns. Sessions include in-room exercises, discussion of relevant research and books, and concrete steps you can practice between meetings.
Patrice uses Client-Centered approaches to follow what each person brings and to build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify distorted thoughts and change behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are part of her practice for grounding and managing anxiety.
People who come to her typically want a partner in sorting out a painful situation and finding workable changes. She frames therapy as a cooperative effort where the client’s strengths are identified and used as tools for change. The aim is steady progress from where someone is now toward more manageable days.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. It helps people feel understood and helps the therapist follow the concerns that matter most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and habits that get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness therapy uses short grounding and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment awareness, which can help with stress and sleep problems.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. Patrice will work with the person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That process may involve trying brief exercises in a session, then adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy days because it can reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it simpler to continue care across life changes or when schedules shift. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively over distance when the format fits the person’s needs and routine.
