Patrice Harris, LPC - Therapist in Alabama

About Patrice

Patrice Harris is an LPC with 20 years of experience who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and depression. She understands how sudden life changes can leave parents overwhelmed. Patrice writes plainly and works to make therapy feel doable for people who are tired and unsure where to begin.

Her approach begins with building trust. She treats therapy as a team effort where the client’s strengths matter.

Background and approach

Patrice helps people notice the thoughts that get in the way and then practices simple skills to shift those thoughts and actions. Many of her clients come after big transitions like divorce or parenting challenges. She uses exercises in session and suggests readings that connect to what is happening in daily life.

Patrice helps clients identify resources and small steps they can use right away. She blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and calming practices drawn from mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving sleep, managing panic, or rebuilding confidence after loss.

Patrice trained and practices in Alabama and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She draws on two decades of work helping people reframe negative beliefs and find forward movement. Her style is warm, direct, and aimed at steady progress.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. It helps people feel heard and supported while they sort out parenting stress, grief, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts that drive upsetting feelings and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and sleep or eating concerns.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Clients and therapist form a plan and adjust methods as progress is made, so the path fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attendance flexible. That flexibility can help busy parents fit therapy around schedules, handle follow-up between sessions, and use skills when issues arise in real time. Licensed professionals can pace work to the client's needs while keeping sessions focused and practical.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
