Pridgett Harmon, MD, LCPC

Approaches that guide online sessions

Pridgett uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach involves building coping skills and concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this helps when worries feel constant and interfere with daily life. Another approach emphasizes working through trauma and abuse at a pace the client chooses, focusing on safety, grounding, and gradual processing to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. She works with clients to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients help guide the pace and focus of work, and choices are revisited as needed.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy or geographically dispersed people. Video calls let participants have a face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or days when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, and other life demands.
