Graham Harriman

Graham Harriman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical work. He combines mindfulness and mind/body awareness with a person-centered, existential stance. He brings a practical, down-to-earth style to conversations about relationship to self and connection with others.

Graham uses mindfulness to help people notice difficult feelings and bodily signals without getting overwhelmed. He also draws on client-centered practices that center the person’s own goals and experience. His work includes elements from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to help with coping and change.

His background includes roles as a mental health therapist, program manager, and public health program director. He has experience planning community services and working with people affected by HIV and other medical and social challenges. Graham coauthored a book titled The Healing Power of Community: Mutual Aid, AIDS, and Social Transformation in Psychology.

Graham’s clinical interests include addictions, sexuality and LGBTQ concerns, intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and career or life transitions. He also notes additional focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and multicultural issues.

How Graham’s approaches translate to online care

Graham commonly uses mindfulness practices to help people tune into bodily sensations and present-moment feeling, which can reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking. He also uses client-centered work that prioritizes the person’s own goals and experience, creating space for what matters most to the individual. Dialectical behavior therapy elements are sometimes included to teach concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as needed. Graham aims to match techniques to what a person needs and prefers, rather than sticking to a single method.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint helps. It can also let people participate without needing to be on camera if that feels better, or choose a format that uses less bandwidth for unstable internet. These practical choices are discussed when arranging care to help sessions fit into normal routines.
