About Savannah
Savannah Harness is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, phobias, depression, addiction, relationship problems, and stress. She also supports clients dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar mood issues. Savannah uses straightforward, active listening in sessions.
She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set small goals. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps to get there.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Savannah blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-focused ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses dialectical skills to help with emotional regulation and acceptance when emotions feel overwhelming.
With seven years of experience as an LPC, Savannah has worked in a variety of settings. That background helps her see problems from different angles and offer concrete tools people can try between sessions. She speaks English and works with clients in Missouri and beyond.
People who meet with her can expect clear communication and a steady focus on goals. Savannah aims to make therapy a place to practice new ways of coping, to try small changes, and to build confidence over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current reactions. It helps when worry or fear shows up in relationships and when trust or closeness feels difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers specific tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Savannah will discuss options and tailor methods to match a client's worries, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which strategies to prioritize and test in everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to send updates, use brief coaching between sessions, or fit a short check-in into a busy day. These options help clients maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into real life.
