Patrice Harris, LMFT

Patrice Harris is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in California. She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and process trauma. Patrice works with people who are coping with compassion fatigue, attention challenges, and low self-esteem. She aims to create a calm, respectful atmosphere where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

Her work often begins with clear, simple goals like improving focus, lowering daily worry, or finding more self-compassion. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based techniques help explore how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings.

Patrice also draws from client-centered therapy to keep the work grounded in each person's experience. That means listening closely and adapting the pace and focus to fit the person in front of her. She may introduce skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs concrete tools to stay steady.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The format is chosen to fit the client's life and daily routines. Cost varies with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. Patrice works collaboratively to set goals and track progress so people can see what is changing over time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Patrice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which translates well to online sessions when someone wants tools for anxiety or attention struggles.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. This approach is helpful when people want to understand why they repeat certain relationship habits or feel unsettled in close connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they review what helps, adjust the plan, and build skills over time rather than relying on a single technique.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video makes it easier to read nonverbal cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, reminders, or practicing skills between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy days and different life rhythms.
