Online session options
Approaches and how online work fits
Dr. Harris often uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reshape the stories they carry; this approach helps when past events or repeated patterns feel stuck and someone wants a new perspective. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used selectively, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the best fit is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying ideas together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief reflections, homework prompts, or touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
