Christianne Harris , LCSW

Christianne Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of clinical experience. She helps people navigate stressful life changes and intense emotions. Her work often centers on self-esteem, relationship concerns, and stress and anxiety. She practices in Florida and works with English-speaking clients, including those outside the United States.

Her approach balances clear guidance with warm support. Sessions focus on real-life skills and practical steps people can use between meetings. Common themes include coping with grief, trauma and abuse, body image and eating concerns, and workplace or career stress.

She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to match each person’s needs. That means identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and practicing new ways of responding. Therapy also addresses complex issues like chronic illness, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

Christianne works with a broad range of concerns including parenting stress, blended family issues, communication problems, and commitment or codependency struggles. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, abandonment, and substance-related co-morbidity.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. People looking for practical tools, clearer relationships, and steady emotional support will find a focused, experienced clinician who helps set achievable goals and track progress.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies what matters most. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is commonly used for depression, worry, and sleep or eating issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That allows a collaborative plan that blends techniques as needed and adjusts over time.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or scheduling around a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
