About Patrice
Patrice Stevens is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over three decades of experience helping people facing trauma, anxiety, stress, anger, and low self-esteem. She uses clear, direct guidance to help clients move from feeling stuck to making practical changes. Patrice speaks plainly and focuses on small, steady steps people can use in daily life.
Her approach centers on identifying how past wounds shape current behavior. Patrice helps people notice patterns that keep them feeling unsafe or unworthy, then work toward healthier ways of coping.
Background and approach
She emphasizes that anger often masks deeper pain and helps clients name what lies beneath their strong emotions. Patrice combines acceptance-based ideas with attachment-focused work to address how early relationships influence adult patterns. She also draws from client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to build trust and deepen emotional awareness.
These tools are used in service of clear goals clients set together with her. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Patrice listens closely, reflects what she hears, and outlines concrete steps for change.
She teaches skills for self-soothing, emotion regulation, better communication, and conflict management so people can function with more ease. Clients move through a stepwise healing plan: look at how trauma affects life now, process its effects on growth, challenge anxious beliefs like "not enough," practice radical acceptance of self, and learn coping skills that last.
Patrice partners with people through each phase and focuses on measurable progress.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing
Patrice often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and it focuses on taking values-based actions even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect present relationships and helps people build safer, more trusting ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrice collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. She reviews what has helped in the past, what hasn’t, and adapts methods so sessions remain practical and goal-focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer real flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between scheduled meetings.
