About Tiffany

Tiffany Harris is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. She writes and speaks plainly, focusing on practical steps that reduce overwhelm. Her approach aims to give clear tools for everyday life so parents can feel steadier and more confident.

With 20 years of experience, Tiffany has worked in personal and group practice, education, government, and psychiatric trauma settings. She has trained extensively in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-informed methods.

Background and approach

These are used to address trauma, mood struggles, and transition-related stress. Tiffany focuses on teaching concrete skills that lower physical stress responses and ease intense emotions. Sessions often include breathing and grounding tools, thought-challenging exercises, and step-by-step strategies to handle difficult moments.

She also offers guidance on improving communication and rebuilding trust when relationships feel strained. The goal of her work is to help people move from a place of stuckness to clearer goals and healthier patterns. That may mean reducing panic, managing anger, coping with loss, or handling the exhaustion that comes with caregiving.

She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. Tiffany invites clients to participate actively in sessions and practice skills between meetings. She frames therapy as a process where small changes add up to real improvements in daily life.

Her tone is encouraging and practical, aimed at helping parents and adults find more calm and forward momentum.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and difficult memories and can lead to less distress when those memories come up.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It teaches simple skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood, which can improve day-to-day functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore personal goals and build motivation for change. It supports people who feel stuck or uncertain about next steps and pairs well with skills-based work.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past to decide which methods to use. Plans are adjusted over time based on what the client finds useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to revisit brief moments of support between longer meetings. For people balancing parenting, work, or health needs, remote formats allow consistent care without extra travel.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
