About Patrice
Patrice Harris is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Alabama with 20 years of experience helping adults work through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship and family concerns. She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, and coping with life transitions.
She began her counseling career after a major life change and uses that personal perspective when working with clients. Sessions focus on practical steps: identifying stuck beliefs, spotting distorted thoughts, and locating personal strengths. Patrice works collaboratively and uses in-session exercises and readings to support change.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. She helps people reframe negative self-talk, practice new ways of thinking, and use mindful awareness to manage strong emotions. Patrice uses straightforward tools to reduce panic, manage anger, and ease depressive symptoms.
People who grew up with difficult family patterns can bring those old roles and expectations into adult life. Patrice pays attention to family of origin issues and how early relationship models affect current choices. She helps adults recognize those patterns and consider alternative ways of relating and setting boundaries.
Sessions include guided exercises, discussion of relevant research and books, and homework when it helps. The work is practical and step-focused, aimed at reducing daily distress and building clearer thinking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Patrice uses approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and helps people articulate goals and values. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what the client says, and supports the client's own problem-solving and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing distorted thoughts and behaviors. It works well for anxiety, panic, low mood, and patterns that come from family of origin issues by giving clear exercises and steps to practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice feelings and reduce reactivity, useful for anger, panic, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patrice treats that choice as collaborative and will help clients figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She mixes listening, practical CBT techniques, and mindfulness exercises based on what helps most for a particular concern.
