About Patrice
Patrice Stevens is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience helping people manage trauma, anxiety, stress, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She listens with attention and speaks plainly. Sessions focus on practical steps that reduce distress and build everyday coping skills.
Her style is compassionate and direct. Patrice aims to help clients face painful memories without having to relive them. She emphasizes understanding how past wounds shape current behaviours and emotions, then works with clients to change those patterns.
Background and approach
In therapy she guides clients to identify how trauma affects daily life. That includes looking at anxious thoughts, feelings of not being enough, and the ways anger can mask deeper hurt. Patrice supports learning to self-soothe, manage emotions, and improve communication and conflict skills.
She uses Somatic approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-focused work. These methods help people reconnect with bodily signals, clarify values, and repair attachment wounds that influence relationships and self-worth. Patrice treats trauma that occurred in childhood or adulthood and offers step-by-step support through healing.
Sessions focus on realistic tools for emotion regulation, building healthy self-esteem, and moving toward goals the client sets. She works collaboratively so each person steers the pace and direction of change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Somatic work helps people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body. It uses gentle attention to sensations to calm the nervous system and create safer ways to respond to triggers. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patrice collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. This means trying different tools, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face connection from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video isn't possible. Live chat and text-based messaging give quick access between sessions for brief check-ins or support. These options make care more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives while keeping the focus on steady progress.
