Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Michelle Harris uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where people are invited to share their stories and discover their own solutions. This approach emphasizes listening and respect and can help with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, life transitions, and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another approach she employs to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies for change. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult life events.

Dr. Harris also integrates trauma-focused techniques when past traumatic experiences are central to a person’s struggles, offering ways to process and reduce the ongoing impact of trauma. She treats selection of methods as a collaborative process and will work with each client to determine which approaches align best with their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Dr. Harris is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access therapy from their own environments while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
