About Christianne

Christianne Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her work often addresses self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, and adjustments after life changes.

She brings calm, steady guidance to sessions and aims to make next steps feel manageable. She uses practical talk and clear tools rather than jargon. Sessions mix problem-solving with emotional support.

Background and approach

She draws on several therapy styles to match what a person needs. That often means learning simple skills to cope, shifting unhelpful thinking, or working on patterns in close relationships. Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue, and caregiving stress.

She also has experience with chronic illness, body image, and blended family issues. These topics shape how she helps people build routines and supports that fit their lives. Christianne is trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

She adapts those methods to each person’s goals. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce distress. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and helps people change how they connect with others, which can help relationship and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit. Treatment is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made so methods match what helps most.

Online therapy makes those approaches reachable in flexible ways. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions offer a simpler connection when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or communicate in short, manageable bursts. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
