About Patrice

Patrice Harris is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. She blends respect and sensitivity with evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, compassion fatigue, and challenges with focus and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her work centers on tailoring treatment to each person's goals while maintaining a steady, supportive presence throughout the process. Her clinical toolkit includes attachment-informed perspectives, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and psychodynamic exploration to address patterns that show up in relationships and self-regard.

Patrice also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, women’s issues, and workplace difficulties. Sessions are grounded in collaboration, with attention to practical skills and deeper emotional work as needed.

Clients can expect a respectful, non-judgmental setting that emphasizes growth and clearer coping strategies. Patrice communicates openly about treatment direction and invites clients to shape their goals so therapy stays relevant to their daily life and longer-term aspirations.

Therapeutic Approaches Guided by Online Flexibility

Patrice frequently draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional responses and interpersonal trust; this approach helps when people struggle with connection, abandonment fears, or repeating relational patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, focus, and mood through structured techniques and behavioral experiments. Psychodynamic therapy is used when deeper patterns and unconscious influences are relevant, offering space to examine long-standing themes that affect self-esteem and relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the issues that feel most pressing, and then adapts methods over time as progress and priorities evolve. Clients are invited to participate actively in shaping treatment so that interventions remain useful and aligned with personal aims.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work. These formats allow consistent contact and practical continuity of care while supporting different communication styles and needs, making it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
