Approaches that guide online sessions

Dr. Harris uses person-centered listening that prioritizes the client’s concerns and goals. This approach means sessions begin with the client’s priorities, and conversations focus on understanding experience and building practical responses that fit the person’s life.

She also incorporates holistic life coaching techniques to help people set clear goals and take concrete steps toward change. Coaching elements emphasize small, manageable actions and regular review of progress to keep momentum moving forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Harris will talk with each person about what feels most helpful, and she adjusts methods to match goals, preferences, and what’s happening in a client’s daily life. That collaborative planning is aimed at making sessions useful from the start.

Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions or live chat work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, short coaching prompts, and ongoing encouragement between live sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady progress over time.
