About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and difficulties with focus and self-esteem. She also lists social anxiety and phobia among her practice concerns and supports people facing workplace strain and issues related to identity and prejudice.
Her sessions begin by listening to what feels most pressing. She uses clear, practical conversation to identify patterns that keep problems active. Goals are set together so each step is manageable and tied to daily life.
Patrice draws on several therapy styles to match what a person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current fears and close connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps by breaking down unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life steps. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the focus on the person’s priorities.
Work on social anxiety and phobia often includes small, planned exposures and skills for handling distress in social moments. For trauma and compassion fatigue the work balances safety with pacing, and for ADHD she helps people develop practical routines and focus strategies. Sessions also address feelings of isolation, self-love, and questions about life purpose.
Patrice works in English and practices in California. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so they can begin with clear next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate today. Online sessions can use conversations about relationship patterns and specific exercises to try in everyday interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. In remote sessions this usually means planning small experiments and reviewing what happened between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress and priorities become clearer.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people try behavioral practices in real settings and bring observations back to the session for focused problem solving. Licensed professionals can use these approaches remotely while helping clients build concrete skills for social anxiety, stress, and focus challenges.
