About Christianne

Christianne Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 33 years of experience helping people navigate stress, career shifts, and emotional challenges. She combines a practical, compassionate style with clear guidance so clients can make steady progress. Her work often centers on self-esteem, relationship patterns, and coping with life changes.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based skills when useful. Sessions are focused and action-oriented, with attention to how daily habits and thoughts affect mood and behavior. Clients can expect straightforward strategies they can try between meetings.

Christianne also pays close attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current struggles. Conversations may cover communication, boundaries, and ways to build healthier connections. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue with empathy and practical steps forward.

Her practice includes work on sleep, eating concerns, anger, and caregiver stress alongside broader issues like depression and anxiety. She aims to help clients find manageable tools for day-to-day life while addressing deeper sources of distress. Christianne welcomes people who want a collaborative, down-to-earth approach to change.

Therapy with her typically moves at the client’s pace, combining listening with clear suggestions. People seeking help with career questions will find attention to goals and decision-making alongside emotional support. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where action matters as much as insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and worry. It often includes homework and specific skill practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship styles affect current connections and communication, which can help with relationship strains and patterns of avoidance or clinginess.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can change over time as therapy moves from coping and stabilization to deeper relational or behavioral work.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel, or allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Many people find that remote sessions let them maintain momentum between appointments and practice skills in real-life settings more readily.
