About Christianne

Christianne Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 33 years of experience helping people through hard life changes. She focuses on practical steps to manage stress, improve self-esteem, and make sense of difficult relationships. Christianne aims to be direct and compassionate while respecting each person's pace and needs.

Her work covers common problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also helps clients handle relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Christianne pays attention to issues such as body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and the effects of abandonment or attachment difficulties.

Christianne draws on several well-known approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and act on them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods shape the way she listens and responds in session.

Sessions aim to build resilience and practical coping skills. Christianne works with each person to set realistic goals and try small, workable changes between sessions. Her style mixes guidance with space for reflection.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and tools to handle day-to-day stressors. She practices in Florida and offers services in English, including to people outside the United States.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps aligned with those values, often focusing on action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and introduces concrete experiments to change thoughts and behaviors, which can fit well into weekly online sessions. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas shape how the therapist listens and responds, creating steady, empathetic interaction that supports emotional healing.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and the challenges at hand. That collaborative process can begin in early sessions and be adjusted over time as needs change.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join sessions from different locations. Licensed professionals can guide home practice, coping skills, and step-by-step plans that translate into daily routines, whether sessions are longer goal sessions or brief follow-ups. Online therapy can support steady progress without asking people to rearrange their whole day.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
