About Steven

Steven Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 34 years of experience helping people facing relationship stress, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. He works with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, and life transitions. He emphasizes practical support and respectful listening while people take steps toward change.

He approaches sessions believing each person knows their own story and strengths. He uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the client. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how important relationships affect feelings and behavior.

Steven uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. He integrates emotionally-focused methods when relationships or intimacy are central concerns. Mindfulness practices are offered as tools for managing stress, anger, and sleeplessness.

His work spans caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, mood disorders, addiction concerns, and issues related to aging and end-of-life care. He also supports people with career or money stress and those coping with post-traumatic stress and veteran-related matters. Steven holds the Licensed Master Social Worker credential and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LMSW, LCSW).

How his approaches translate to online work

Steven uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps when people are trying to repair bonds, handle intimacy issues, or understand how early relationships affect current life.

He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. CBT is practical and often includes simple exercises between sessions to practice new skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Steven will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. Clients and therapist make those decisions collaboratively rather than sticking to a single method from the start.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people also find video or phone sessions reduce the effort of leaving work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday life.
