Patrice Stevens, LPC

Patrice Stevens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has been providing mental health care in Texas since 1990. She brings extensive experience working with people facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. As an LPC - a licensed mental health professional trained in counseling - she offers informed trauma work that helps clients address the wounds of the past without requiring them to relive traumatic events.

Patrice approaches therapy with compassion and directness, combining acceptance, practical strategies, and clear guidance to help clients move toward their goals. She frames negative behaviors as responses to unhealed wounds and views anger as a secondary emotion that often covers deeper hurt. In treatment she guides individuals through examining the current effects of trauma, processing how those experiences have shaped development, and working through anxious thoughts or beliefs of "not being enough."

Her work emphasizes radical acceptance of self and the development of effective coping skills, including self-soothing, emotion regulation, healthy self-esteem, and improved communication and conflict-management. Patrice describes her style as compassionate, fair, straightforward, and solutions-oriented, and she partners with each person to set and pursue specific therapeutic goals. She welcomes those ready to take the first steps toward healing and change and supports them through a collaborative, goal-focused process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that align with their values - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with meaningful living. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape connection and trust, helping clients address abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship patterns rooted in family of origin experiences. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and acceptance so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions, which supports self-esteem and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Patrice works with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, making treatment a collaborative effort focused on what will help most.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, and allow access from different locations. These options let therapists and licensed professionals maintain consistent engagement and adapt session formats to what feels most effective for the individual.
