About Harrison
Harrison Burdo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Harrison uses an integrative, person-centered stance that adapts to each client’s needs.
He builds sessions around what a person brings in that week. Conversations move between understanding past patterns and trying small changes in how someone responds today. Harrison pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, and struggles with guilt, shame, or impulsivity.
Harrison also helps people facing divorce or separation, exploring life purpose, and handling mood difficulties. He offers practical tools for obsessive-compulsive behaviors, body image concerns, and control issues. Men’s issues and multicultural concerns are included among the topics he addresses.
Sessions look at how relationships shape feelings and choices. Harrison integrates techniques from evidence-based therapeutic approaches to address trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem without sticking rigidly to a single model. He aims for steady, sustainable shifts rather than quick fixes.
People who work with him can expect direct conversations about patterns and practical steps to try between sessions. He frames progress as a collaboration, adjusting pace based on someone’s comfort and goals. Harrison conducts sessions in English and does not take international clients.
How sessions work
How Harrison blends evidence-based approaches online
Harrison draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and trauma in clear, practical ways. One commonly used approach focuses on present-moment coping skills and behavior change to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets trauma by helping people process distressing memories while developing safer responses in current relationships. He treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to understand needs, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The therapist discusses options and partners with the person to choose techniques that align with their goals and pace. Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving, avoid travel time, and allow consistent check-ins even when routines are tight. Different formats can also suit different needs, for example shorter phone check-ins require less bandwidth and a video meeting permits visual cues. Ask about the formats available when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your practical needs.Areas of focus
