About Christianne

Christianne Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and the upheaval that comes with life changes. Her work aims to help clients regain steadiness and make clearer choices during difficult transitions.

Her style blends practical direction with warm support. She listens closely, helps people notice patterns that cause pain, and suggests steps to try between sessions. Sessions often focus on building everyday skills for coping, improving communication, and reducing overwhelm.

Over decades in practice she has worked with many emotional challenges including depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties. She also addresses issues such as eating and sleeping concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. These areas often show up together, and she helps people sort what matters most right now.

Christianne uses several established approaches to guide her work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move toward meaningful actions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening help her focus on relationships and the person's experience in the room.

Her practice emphasizes realistic, step-by-step change. She works with people to set small goals, practice new skills, and track what helps. The aim is more confidence in daily life and better tools for coping with life changes.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is often useful for stress, low motivation, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It is practical and skill-oriented, good for day-to-day symptom relief. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of connecting and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining approaches over time or trying different techniques until something clicks.

Confirm session formats before booking, since specifics are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from wherever the client is located. It can also make shorter check-ins or weekday sessions more practical. Licensed professionals can help plan sessions that match a client's day-to-day schedule and the kinds of problems they want to address.
