About Ngozi
Ngozi Harris is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps parents can use to manage stress and shifting family demands. She treats concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and parenting stress.

Background and approach
Ngozi uses straightforward, collaborative work. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths to find solutions. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes, and habits that fit day-to-day life.
Her approach blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build willingness, and Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed methods when they match a client's needs. Ngozi practices in Illinois and offers services in English.
She supports people coping with family issues, parenting pressures, life transitions, and the emotional fallout of loss or past hurt. Her style is direct, compassionate, and focused on what works for each person.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. It often suits people wanting structured tools and homework. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories to open new choices and perspectives.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ngozi invites clients to discuss goals and preferences and to try methods that fit their needs. Over time she adjusts techniques based on what helps a person make steady progress and feel more able to handle daily demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a written format fits a person’s schedule. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other commitments.
