Christianne Harris, LCSW

Christianne Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 33 years of practice. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes in a clear, practical way. Her style is direct but kind, and she adapts sessions to each person’s situation.

She often focuses on self-esteem, relationship patterns, communication problems, and parenting concerns. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and build new skills. She also draws on acceptance and mindfulness approaches to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Christianne has worked with a wide range of issues across many years, including trauma and grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns like body image, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career stress. Her experience includes helping people cope after disasters and other major disruptions.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented. People leave with short exercises, clearer perspectives, and step-by-step plans they can try between meetings. Christianne balances listening with offering structured tools so progress feels measurable.

Her practice is based in Florida and she conducts sessions in English. She welcomes people from different places and backgrounds and works collaboratively to set goals that fit each person’s life and values.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Christianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that keep them stuck and try small, practical behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and building willingness to feel difficult emotions while taking meaningful actions. ACT often helps when people feel stuck trying to avoid pain instead of moving toward what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and closeness, and it helps people experiment with new ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christianne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they tailor a plan that may blend methods and change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps share thoughts between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
