About Patrice
Patrice Harris is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and challenges with attention and focus. Patrice also helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Her practice centers on conversation and practical strategies. Sessions often include looking at how attachment patterns show up in relationships and daily life. Patrice uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to understand personal history and present goals.
People can expect concrete skills as well as time to make sense of difficult feelings. Patrice may introduce tools from dialectical behavior therapy for managing intense emotions and building distress tolerance. She works at a measured pace, balancing short-term solutions with deeper reflection when that feels useful.
Patrice pays attention to issues that arise from discrimination, workplace stress, and women's concerns. She also addresses abandonment and attachment wounds that show up as social anxiety or trouble trusting others. Her work includes supporting people who want clearer direction about purpose and next steps in life.

How attachment and CBT translate to online work
Patrice uses attachment-based approaches to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. That work focuses on recognizing relational habits and practicing new ways of relating in everyday life. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Patrice will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust the plan as sessions progress. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills training, deeper exploration of history, or a blend of both.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while working through stress, ADHD-related concentration issues, or questions about life purpose.
