About Christianne

Christianne Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 33 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Her style is direct but compassionate and she tailors sessions to each person's needs.

Christianne focuses on helping people build resilience and improve self-esteem. She supports clients dealing with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT issues. She also helps with sleep and eating problems, anger, and workplace or career strain.

Her approach blends practical skills with attention to how past experiences shape current patterns. That means talking through communication problems, commitment and attachment issues, or codependency, and building clearer ways to relate to others. She often works with people managing caregiver stress, chronic illness, or the emotional fallout from disasters.

Sessions emphasize doable strategies, clearer boundaries, and small steps that add up. She uses therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide the work. The goal is better coping and clearer choices in daily life.

Christianne practices in Florida and offers services in English. She helps people who want practical tools and steady support while navigating hard times.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with depression, sleep problems, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with commitment, communication, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christianne collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable for the client.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and fitting sessions into a busy day without extra travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Licensed professionals can still use ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work effectively in remote settings, and Christianne aims to make online sessions focused and goal-oriented so clients can apply what they learn between meetings.
