About Christianne
Christianne Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 33 years of practice in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and big life changes. Her style balances clear guidance with steady compassion to help people make practical shifts.
She works with individuals facing depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles around self-esteem and body image. Christianne also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and workplace or career stress.
Background and approach
LGBT concerns and issues around attachment and abandonment are part of her everyday caseload. Her approach pulls from several evidence-informed methods so sessions are based on what a client needs most. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage emotions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take purposeful action. Christianne creates a calm space where people can talk through painful experiences and test new ways of coping. She helps set small, manageable goals and practices techniques in session that can be used later on.
Progress is measured by clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better problem solving. People who prefer direct feedback and practical skills tend to do well with her. Sessions are conducted in English and are available through a range of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that match those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It often helps people who feel stuck during life changes or who struggle with anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christianne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She adapts tools from these approaches rather than sticking to one model, so clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try first.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and apply skills between meetings.
