About Steven

Steven Harris is a licensed social worker with 34 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, and stress. He also supports those coping with addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, anger, and self-esteem difficulties.

He works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the room. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than jargon. Steven offers steady support while people try new ways of relating and coping.

In therapy he draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness. Those approaches translate into sessions that look at patterns in relationships, thoughts that get in the way, and present-moment skills to reduce distress.

Steven’s background includes long-term work in clinical settings spanning three decades. He holds the Licensed Master Social Worker credential, LMSW, and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. He is licensed in Florida and brings experience supporting people through major life changes and mood concerns.

People who choose him can expect a calm, respectful tone and an emphasis on practical tools. He aims to help clients identify small, manageable changes that add up to clearer thinking and better daily functioning.

How therapy approaches translate online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses. Online sessions using this approach help people notice interaction habits and practice new ways of relating to partners or family members. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experience, offering empathic listening and support so clients can find their own answers to problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods suit their goals and preferences, and adjust over time as needs change. That shared process helps tailor tools to real-life challenges like stress, grief, or parenting strain.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people participate when energy is limited due to chronic illness or caregiving duties. Ask about current options when you schedule so sessions match how you live and what you need.
