About Steven

Steven Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 34 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, mood concerns, and money and financial issues. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem.

He approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and strengths. He treats clients as partners in the work and focuses on practical change rather than labels. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Steven uses methods that center on relationships and everyday thinking. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of thinking and acting.

Mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused strategies are part of how he helps people manage stress and improve connection with others. He adapts these tools to whatever a client needs at the time and emphasizes small, doable steps.

He holds the Licensed Master Social Worker credential and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. Steven practices in Florida and works in English. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to his practice.

Approaches to online therapy and how they help

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviors; it helps when trust, closeness, or repeated relationship patterns cause distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to strong emotions and how they affect connections with others, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new issues come up.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding camera use when that helps you stay focused. Licensed professionals often adapt interventions for remote work, using the same core tools to address relationship patterns, thought habits, and emotional responses in everyday life.
