Mindful, Skills-Based Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Harris uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and ease anxiety. These are practical, easy exercises people can try between sessions to steady emotions and focus on the present.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the work begins by listening and following the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes that can lift mood and reduce worry.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use skills training, guided mindfulness, and CBT-based homework effectively through distance sessions when those formats are available.
