Patrice Harris

Patrice Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of experience. She draws on her own life changes to guide people through hard times. Patrice talks plainly about decisions, losses, and anger so people can take the next step. Her voice is steady and focused on small, doable changes.

Patrice came to counseling after a painful family breakup early in her parenting years. That experience shaped her belief that people can build new strengths from deep hurt. She returned to school and used her experience to help others find practical ways forward.

In sessions she and the client form a two-person team. They look for negative beliefs that keep the client stuck and work to reframe them. Patrice uses exercises in the session, workbook-style referrals, and clear steps to challenge distorted thoughts.

Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions. She also supports people wrestling with relationship concerns, family-of-origin issues, parenting stress, career transitions, and life changes. Patrice pays attention to multicultural concerns and how stigma or prejudice can shape a person's story.

Expect a practical, client-centered approach. Patrice encourages self-empowerment and helps clients identify resources in their own lives. She emphasizes steady progress and measurable shifts in thinking and behavior.

Patrice practices in Alabama and offers counseling in English. Her background blends personal experience with two decades of clinical work to help people move from pain toward steadier ground.

How these approaches work in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own sense of direction. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflects concerns, and helps build confidence. This approach is useful for people who need acceptance and steady encouragement.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. The therapist helps identify distorted thoughts, test them, and practice new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness exercises. It can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation by teaching short practices that fit into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to maintain steady progress and practice skills between meetings.
