Christianne Harris, LCSW

Christianne Harris, LCSW, brings more than 33 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to give clear guidance while honoring each person’s story.

Clients meet a therapist who talks plainly and helps set realistic steps. Sessions often include practical skills for handling pressure, clearer ways to communicate with others, and strategies to rebuild confidence. She addresses a broad range of concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, and disability, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and blended family issues. She works with relationship patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and commitment worries. Career stress, sleeping and eating difficulties, and recovery from life disruptions are part of the work she does.

Christianne uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches are used to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships. She aims to help people act on their values even when emotions are strong.

People seeking support are guided toward manageable steps and clearer choices. Her sessions focus on what can change now and how to get there, with attention to individual goals and daily responsibilities.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, then take action that matches their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and worry. It is practical and goal-oriented.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - it can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make scheduling across time zones simpler for international clients. Different approaches lend themselves to different tasks online: ACT and CBT work well for exercises and homework, while attachment-focused conversations help with relationship patterns. Talk with the therapist about logistics and what will work best for your routine.
