Patrice Harris, LPC

Patrice Harris is an LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She draws on two decades of hands-on work supporting adults who face breakups, role shifts, mood struggles, and issues with self-worth. Patrice writes plainly and meets people where they are. Her approach begins with building trust and a shared plan. Patrice treats therapy as a team effort where the client’s goals lead the way. She helps identify unhelpful thoughts, name strengths, and try short exercises during sessions to test new ways of thinking. Patrice uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to find and shift distorted thought patterns. She blends that with client-centered listening so the work stays grounded in each person’s values. Mindfulness techniques are added to help with stress, panic, and grounding in the present moment. Sessions often include reading or short homework between meetings, practical skills practice, and step-by-step reframing of thoughts that hold people back. Patrice emphasizes small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She encourages clients to notice progress even when it feels slow. Over twenty years in practice have focused on adults facing divorce and major life transitions, as well as concerns like addiction, family of origin issues, and multicultural stressors. Patrice practices in Alabama and offers therapy in English. To begin, clients follow the site's start process to match and schedule a first session.

Patrice uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story. This approach focuses on understanding a person’s experience and following their priorities, which helps when people want to feel heard before making changes.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT is useful for identifying distorted thoughts, practicing small behavior changes, and reducing panic or anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patrice will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She treats therapy as a team effort and adjusts methods as progress is made.
