About Christianne

Christianne Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma and a range of other life challenges.

She takes a direct and practical approach in sessions. Christianne listens for patterns in how a person copes and points out small, specific changes to try. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings to reduce worry, handle conflict, and manage low mood.

Her background includes long experience helping people sort communication problems, attachment issues, and struggles with self-esteem. She also addresses caregiver stress, blended family concerns, body image, chronic illness, and reactions after loss or abuse. The work can include looking at commitment and control issues and building steadier ways of relating to others.

Christianne draws on several methods such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She mixes practical strategies with discussions about values and relationships.

People who want clear guidance and tools tend to find her style useful. She works with English-speaking adults and accepts international clients, offering help to those juggling family responsibilities, career pressures, and major life changes.

How sessions work

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while managing painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift those patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and helps people practice new ways of relating.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the first conversations. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose methods that match the client’s goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change. That plan can be adjusted as the work continues.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will run. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, or use shorter check-in meetings when needed. It also allows continuing consistent support when life and schedules are in flux. Licensed professionals often combine skill-building exercises, values work, and behavior experiments in virtual sessions to help people manage stress, relationship strains, parenting demands, and grief.
