About Mitchell
Dr. Mitchell Harris is a Utah psychologist with 18 years of clinical experience. He helps adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, and parenting pressures. Sessions are conducted in English and geared to practical problem-solving rather than jargon.
In sessions he invites clear, direct conversations about what is most pressing at home. He encourages people to name what feels hard and to try simple changes that make daily life easier. He focuses on patterns in thinking, behavior, and communication that keep problems going.
Dr. Harris draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. He also supports people facing complicated personal histories such as adoption and foster care, attachment questions, abandonment, blended family issues, and caregiving burdens. He pays attention to how medical issues like chronic pain or cancer affect mood and relationships.
Over his career he has worked with people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, co-morbid conditions, and issues related to sexual orientation. He offers straightforward, goal-oriented work that looks at what to try between sessions. Progress is tracked through regular review and adjustment of goals.
If someone wants to begin, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Dr. Harris draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. That method helps with anxiety, depression, and daily stress by teaching skills to respond differently to difficult thoughts and situations. Another approach emphasizes learning practical communication and problem-solving skills for relationship strain and parenting challenges. These techniques break problems into manageable steps and practice new responses between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are reviewed and adjusted over time so the methods fit the person rather than the other way around.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options.
