Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Harris draws on person-centered practices that prioritize the client’s goals and perspective. This approach helps people feel heard and guides sessions toward what matters most to them, such as parenting challenges, stress, or relationship concerns.She also integrates life coaching techniques to turn insight into action. That often means setting small, concrete goals, experimenting with new routines, and tracking progress between sessions to build momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Harris collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time as priorities or circumstances change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use body language and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, coaching-style support, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit care into a day and continue progress even when life gets busy.
