About Patrice
Patrice Brantley is a Florida LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Patrice also addresses career challenges and the ways past experiences can affect present relationships and functioning.
She helps people talk through what’s happening right now and what they want to change. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long theory. Patrice uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness to interrupt unhelpful patterns and build small habits that make daily life easier.
Her approach gives room to explore feelings tied to guilt and shame, forgiveness, and self-love. She also supports clients facing caregiver strain, relationship communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and issues tied to identity and multicultural experience. Conversations can include setting realistic goals for work, money, sleep, and mood.
Patrice favors straightforward discussions and collaborative planning. She brings motivational interviewing and client-centered methods to help people find their own reasons to change. Dialectical skills are used when emotions feel intense or stuck.
People meet to identify one or two concrete changes to try between sessions. Patrice frames sessions as a series of short experiments - noticing what works and adjusting as needed. The emphasis is on usable skills, clearer choices, and slowly reducing the hold of shame and guilt on everyday decisions.
How Patrice’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters, and letting the client guide what to focus on. This approach helps when someone wants practical, personally relevant change rather than a fixed program.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach specific skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, guilt, and problems that get stuck in repetitive thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills into daily life. It is useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when people get caught in cycles of intense reaction and regret.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying a CBT skill for a few weeks, then adding mindfulness or DBT strategies if emotions remain intense.

The focus is on making therapy workable within daily life and on using the chosen approaches in ways that feel practical and manageable.
