About Savannah
Savannah Harness is a licensed professional counselor who helps adults and families facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, trauma, and parenting challenges. She uses practical, down-to-earth language and focuses on real-life steps people can take. Savannah aims to make therapy feel manageable, not overwhelming.
She emphasizes small changes that add up over time. In sessions she blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are included when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Savannah has seven years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC.
She holds a Missouri license under MO LPC 2016004599 and also maintains a Pennsylvania license under PA LPC PC014187. Her work has included a range of settings, which helps her see problems from different angles. Her style is collaborative and pragmatic.
She will listen, ask clear questions, and suggest exercises to try between sessions. Many people leave with concrete tools they can use right away. Therapy with Savannah combines practical skill-building with attention to relationships and personal meaning.
For someone juggling family responsibilities and life’s stresses, she aims to offer support that fits into everyday life.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. It helps people understand how they connect with others and how to change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides simple tools to change negative thinking and build healthier habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for high-intensity feelings.Savannah approaches treatment as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals and try methods that fit their situation. If an approach doesn’t feel right, she works with the client to adjust the plan. The process is meant to be collaborative so the therapy fits each person’s life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let conversations feel face to face. Phone sessions work when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, ongoing support between sessions. These options help people balance therapy with work, family, and other commitments and can make regular care easier to maintain.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
