Approaches that guide online sessions

Dr. Harris uses evidence-based, practical approaches that focus on what helps most in daily life. One common strand is person-centered care which emphasizes listening deeply, honoring each person’s experience, and building goals that matter to them. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and clarify next steps.

She also integrates life coaching strategies that focus on planning and action. These techniques help with setting clear goals, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and tracking small wins over time - useful for career shifts, parenting challenges, or coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to see what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods, review progress, and adjust the plan so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone provides a simpler option when bandwidth is low or a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, action planning, or when someone needs a short coaching-style message during a busy day. These options make scheduling easier and let people get help in ways that fit their routine.
