About Steven
Steven Harris is a licensed social worker who focuses on family and relationship concerns. He has 34 years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. He works with people facing parenting challenges, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, anxiety, addiction, grief, and stress.
He aims to help clients take practical steps toward more stable home and family life. His approach starts with listening. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on individual strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what a client can manage. Steven emphasizes straightforward discussion and small, achievable steps between meetings. Steven uses several therapy methods to help families and adults manage day-to-day difficulties.
He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviors. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and habits. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce stress and improve focus.
Over three decades of work have included helping people through addiction, career stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. He also supports people dealing with communication problems, family of origin issues, and major life transitions. His practice integrates practical coaching when useful.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Steven holds the credential Licensed Master Social Worker - LMSW and Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW. For licensing details see MI LMSW 6801062493 and FL LCSW SW11096.
Approaches that guide online family and relationship work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and interaction patterns. It can help people understand hurt, rebuild trust, and improve closeness in important relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful ones. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits that interfere with daily life.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can help with stress management and coping during difficult family transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they choose or adapt methods that fit. That collaborative decision is reviewed over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation easier for busy families. These options let people connect from home, keep sessions more flexible around schedules, and continue work between appointments using messaging when needed.
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.
