Steven Harris, LMSW, LCSW

Steven Harris, LMSW, LCSW, helps people cope with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, and addiction. He brings 34 years of clinical experience to sessions and supports people working through grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, and life transitions. He is based in Florida and conducts his practice in English.

He works from the belief that each person knows their story best and already has strengths to build on. Sessions focus on listening carefully, identifying practical next steps, and trying small changes that add up over time. He encourages honest conversation and gradual progress rather than quick fixes.

Steven draws on methods such as client-centered work and attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationships and emotional patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to address thinking habits, mood, and stress. Emotionally-focused techniques are used when the goal is to improve closeness and emotional communication.

In a typical session he talks through current problems, looks for patterns that keep issues going, and helps set doable goals. He aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to everyday life. Over decades of practice he has supported people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, veteran-related concerns, and mood disorders.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using attachment ideas help people notice relationship patterns, practice new ways of connecting, and reduce emotional distance.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building on a person’s strengths. In remote sessions this approach means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters most to you, and helps you find your own solutions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often uses short exercises between sessions, practical tools for mood and anxiety, and step-by-step plans to change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as work unfolds. Collaboration helps match techniques to what feels most useful for you.

Online therapy can fit into busy days and reduce travel time, making it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and it supports using practices like mindfulness or CBT homework between meetings. Confirm current session options with the provider before booking so you know which formats are available.
